When you are first learning or perfecting a skill, whether it be baking, archery, or public speaking, it is easy to get stuck with the cycle of (1)______ analysis paralysis. You want to learn as much as you possibly can before you actually doing the task, but you end up wasting time (2)______ preparing yourself instead of just trying to do it. Major League Baseball pitchers don’t fight a perfect game every time they play, so (3)______ why do you expect to be perfect all the time Jonathan Fields recently wrote a excellent piece on how the key to getting better at something is (4)______ to make more bad stuff. That is a powerful message. In a world filled perfectionists who don’t want to share what they’ve created with (5)______ anyone until they think it is perfect, the best way to get better is (6)______ actually hands-on practice. And the best way to practice is by trying (7)______ over and over again until you stop failing miserably. Jonathan uses the example of building a guitar, but wanting for the first one to be (8)______ perfect. "Go and make a really bad guitar." Stop waiting around, go buy a kit and do it. Today.The first one...will be bad. May be really bad. But you’ll learn more making one bad guitar than you will waiting to do something and then taking a course that teach you how to do it right. (9)______ You’ll understand a lot more about the "why" behind good and bad building, and that’ll put you on a radically different position to do it (10)______ better moving forward.
