Speaker 1
I think how important it is to be done with something so that you can move on. Like I don't want open loops. Yeah. Unresolved decisions, sitting unresolved, sitting undecided for a long time. Yeah. I feel the weight of those unfinished projects because I'm trying to make it perfect. Yeah. I feel the weight of those. I've learned the importance of just getting things done and finishing. And to do that, you usually have to say good enough. You know, at some point, I love the fact that we say we, somebody releases an album. You release a book because there's a wonderful double meaning in that word, right? Like, all right. I've never even thought about that. Released.
Speaker 2
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1
So I think about that with anything I post on my site, any of my books, it's like, all right, it's released. It's good enough.)
