If it’s not magic, don’t push it. So only release a project or a piece of work until it’s magic. Don’t just put it out there. Again, all the infinite scrolling and checking quick videos and texting so quickly has caused us to lose something that is so mission-critical to be a world-class productive, and that is patience.It took Michelangelo four years to finish the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel. J. D. Salinger only did one book, published one book. It was the Catcher in the Rye. Sold what? 80 million copies or more. It’s better to push one masterwork in your entire career than a thousand mediocrities. Stay with your project until it’s magic.
