When big plans stop getting things done

I have been mulling over how to shift the direction for this blog for months. It’s a cornerstone for a whole line of new products, and has desperately needed attention all year. Maybe for two years. Maybe even it’s whole life.

I have lists of ideas, drafts started, and lists of things that need to be changed or maintained. I have sticky notes of titles and topics. Lots of new paintings. A huge archive of photos. All the pieces one would think I need.

What I don’t have is time to get everything I want to do finished. So the lists get longer and longer, making posting more unlikely if I continue to hold onto the belief that I have to meet a certain standard before I can hit publish.

Publishing the Imperfect

For now, as I work myself out from under the mega-mountain of to-dos, I’m committing to publishing anyway. Incomplete, unfinished, but manageable. Accepting what I can do, and what I haven’t made enough space for yet. I have more to say, but I’m out of time for today, so I’m going to hit publish anyway.
