At least is published.

 

I can't recall the number of times I've judged, harshly, what I created. Meaning, judging the output. It's easy to judge what is easy to see — a published blog post, a published photography, a published song. I could have been more clear in this paragraph. I could have increased the contrast. I could have improved the lyrics.

It's great to analyze previous work and draw lessons for future improvements. Being critical of our own work helps us grow and tweak the process. But is it productive to be so harshly critical, we fear the "share" button?

Maybe we should be more critical towards the present hours that are not being dedicated to the practice — writing, photographing, playing. Tomorrow I will do it. When I have more time. When I learn this new thing. When the new year starts. Next Monday. When there are no more excuses.

For the times I harshly criticize the work I made — at least is published.
Are you publishing enough?
