Make Ten Things - Volume Two

You don't quit because you can't. You quit because you look at it and hate it.

Ten ceremonies. Ten proofs. Perfection can't survive volume.

Here's the loop that's been killing you for thirty years: you sit down, you make something, it comes out ugly, you stop. The critic wins before the work gets a chance.

Make Ten Things makes that loop impossible to obey. Ten short ceremonies, ten minutes each, each with one rule that takes the decision out of your hands: use one color only. Make the smallest finished thing. Use the tool you avoid. Begin with a mistake and keep it. Make something you'll never show anyone.

You don't judge. You don't edit. You just make the thing and log it. Ten pieces in, you stop measuring the work by "is it good" and start measuring it by "did I show up." Because you did.

Bad work isn't failure. Bad work is motion. Messy counts. Ugly counts.
