“It’s not 10,000 hours, it’s 10,000 iterations”
Naval Ravikant
Greetings Comedy Crowders,
Extra hours are no substitute for iterative creation.
This is an encouraging message for those who struggle to bounce out of bed straight into a zone of creative focus.
It’s cliche but it really is about quality, not quantity.
A process of reviewing, learning and retrying is less onerous and more valuable than chaining yourself to the desk waiting for inspiration while clocking the hours.
Plus we found the chain can become a distraction after a while.
Start here.
