Perfection slows down progress

I'm an organized person when it comes to work stuff, but I'm not nearly organized enough to actually allow me to have my brain cells in line and get posts going every single day. As much as I would love to, there are so many things I have to do on a daily basis - which is powered through my organization skills - that I manage to deliver on every side of the main income earning side of things, but when it comes to generating side income in the form of $hive and $hbd I am slacking, and I'm really doing it.

I have like 8 post ideas prepared and I just haven't had the drive, the time and the organization to write and publish them.

Oh yeah, I mention side income in the form of hive because Hive is not my main income, and it shouldn't be yours as well. I mean, it can be but it shouldn't, both because you are making a mistake by selling hive so cheaply, but also because as I mentioned in a previous post, there's no such thing as a full time hiver that is helping the hive economy within from the outside.

But to the point. I haven't had the time to post because well, perfectionism slows progress, that's a @scaredycatguide quote, not sure if he stole it from somewhere but he's right as fuck.

I could be putting up half-assed, shitty posts every single day, I am good when it comes to shitposting or spinning articles but that's something I haven't done, ever. Ok maybe a few times but that's the thing, I've been on hive for 5 years and I can count my shitposts with one hand and I'd still have fingers left for your mom.

That was a joke, maybe a little too much? You're right, but I can't help it, I like joking and I do it right in text form.

Anyway, I could pull out of my ass a post every single day, maybe twice per day, but I feel like that would be cheating hive, like gaming the system and taking advantage of what little influence I have in the community and the autovotes my posts receive, whether it is an amazing post or a picture of my dogs.

So I try not to shitpost, I try not to publish random crap in order to maximize my side income in the form of crypto, the only way I was able to stack my hive and leo for a long time.

I have two stable jobs right now and I'm happy with them. Every time I post on hive, it means I am stacking for the future, not for the present. It feels good man, and I wish I could post daily. I've tried to, believe me I have, but I am not going to post crap.

But I am also not going to post perfect pieces, because perfectionism kills progress, and I'd rather progress than being perfect.

What about you, are you perfect, or are you progressing?
