Do not compare a first draft to finished work

“I compare my first draft to someone else’s finished work.” The comparison is using two different stages as if they are equal. Try this: Compare your current work only to your last version and define one improvement. Follow for the next start-small scan. Self-help only — not therapy, diagnosis, or emergency support.

Three takeaways

  1. The comparison is using two different stages as if they are equal.
  2. Turning inspiration into proof that you are behind.
  3. Researching more creators instead of producing your own next draft.
  4. Compare your current work only to your last version and define one improvement.
