Good enough ships
'Always room for improvement' can work against you. Release it into existence, then make it pretty—find the middle ground of good enough.
"There's always room for improvement" sounds like a virtue. For me it's been a trap—the polishing came at my own expense, more time spent perfecting the thing than the thing was ever worth.
So I've been learning to release it. Make it exist first, get it out into the world, and then make it pretty afterward. There's a middle ground called good enough, and finding it is its own skill. Let it exist, then improve it—not the other way around.
