Something that helped me with perfection was telling myself, "Create like a kid, refine like a teacher." Kids don't think. They just create whatever comes to mind. Teachers help us to improve what we made and grow in our skills.

This hits close to home, I'll sit on a concept way too long just second guessing it. Might steal "create first, judge later" as a rule for this week. Was there a specific project that snapped you out of the perfectionist loop, or did it build up gradually?

That “create first, judge later” message pairs beautifully with the expressive lettering—warm, imperfect texture that makes the idea feel lived-in rather than polished away.

the yellow type on the flower video is so good

So real. Done is always better than perfect! Love this vibe.

We all do this unfortunately. The number of things I've either not started or stopped creating mid-way because they don't fit into the quality or aesthetic bucket I want them to is actually depressing. My wish for all creatives is to snap out of this need to be perfect early on...

Good

Create first, judge later is the line I needed today. The judging part is where I lose the most time, not the making.

Yesss!! Same here. Ironically that perfectionism makes your work worse and as you said you create less. One thing I'm trying to do now, is make sure I'm enjoying what I'm creating and actually be creative and make stuff.

Really awesome

"Create first judge later" resonates so much. What’s your trick to keep momentum going when perfectionism creeps back in?

Good Work!

that looks like the portrait of the song Golden brown

beautiful

“Create first and judge later” is a useful distinction. A small first version also gives you something concrete to get feedback on, instead of trying to solve every possible problem before anyone has seen it.

Always intrigued about creating a typeface animation easily without using after effects. How did you create this btw? 🙌

Oh wow!

Love this already ❤️

Awesome! 🔥 @Karina
