Just Make Something

Jan 05, 2022

Rome was not built in one day. It was a small village that grew into a big city, one day at a time.

Grand plans sound good, but won’t work. Most of the time, these grand plans say nothing about what it actually does.

Actual effective changes start small. It works like compound interest.

The key is not just do something (i.e. performing an action), but actually solve a problem. In order to do so, you need to know whom you’re doing it for, and what issue you are addressing.

For most of the time, the first solution probably is an overkill. More creative solutions are out there, simpler, easier to implement and faster to deploy to see if it works.

More importantly, you can improve your solution later on. Or even make a version 2.

Just make something that can be used right away.
