In today’s blog, we will be discussing why it’s important to start something, no matter how “sucky” it may seem. Often, we spend so much time trying to perfect things before starting, and this can lead to fear and self-doubt, ultimately leading to the task not being completed at all. Time is an essence in any sort of ideas that we have because no one knows when their time will end. Therefore, keeping ourselves in a space where we think that we have more time than we realise may stop us from doing more with our lives. One of the most valuable things that can be done when starting an idea is to present it in a draft format to others. Feedback is crucial in the creative process as it allows for different perspectives and emotions to come into play, ultimately allowing for growth and evolution. Starting on any task as quickly as possible is essential because it allows for feedback from the audience and provides opportunities for growth. By showing people the process of the draft, a community can develop around the idea, and this community can grow as the idea develops. The importance of starting an idea in its simplest form is also crucial. The fear of not having the right equipment or perfect lighting can lead to procrastination and ultimately, the task not being completed. By starting with the simplest format possible, such as a mobile phone and microphone, the information can be shared with people and skills can be developed over time. This method can lead to the task being perfected as skills improve, ultimately leading to a better final product. There are instances where the ideas that are being worked on will influence life beyond our own, and in these cases, more attention needs to be paid to what is put out into the world.. If something is supposed to change things in a near future, it’s best to start as quickly as possible to allow for growth and development. However, if it’s something that may be more delicate, it may require more attention and time. Example I sometimes look at my ideas in 30, 60 or even 300 years’ time horizon, so with those ideas I take into account a lot of moving part. In conclusion, starting any task, no matter how sucky it may seem, is crucial in allowing for growth, development, and evolution. Feedback from others is essential in the creative process, and starting in the simplest form possible can lead to growth and skill development over time. By starting quickly, we can create a sense of momentum that leads to progress and growth, ultimately leading to a better final product. Remember, time is of the essence, and we should make the most of it. Patrick | Manager Ot tic Studio
