Original Advice
“DO: Set deadlines; ship drafts before they feel ready.”
Ship Ugly. Let Deadlines Bite.
Your genius is rotting in the drafts folder. Control has turned into delay. You polish the blade until the fight is over. Set a countdown. Put the date on the wall. Missed deadlines equal self-betrayal, not craft. Press send while it still stings. Let the bruise show. The world doesn’t pay for your intentions. It pays for what's shipped.
Deadlines are ritual circles: they contain your flood. Without a line in time, you drown in nuance. Drafts need air to become work; exposure alchemizes them. Iteration is the sting that heals. Ship early to invite friction, then sharpen. Momentum seduces luck. Publish on schedule, not mood. Treat the calendar like a pact. Break it, and your talent turns on you.
Cosmic Context
You are fixed water: pressure creates power when contained. Release in controlled bursts, not in hoarded silence.
