Seth Godin: Quieting the Lizard Brain ===================================== > source http://vimeo.com/5895898 - everyone can make something up, finishing is the only important thing - whats frightening is not the preparation, but the pushing out to public - 37signals -> ship as soon as there's no time or budget anymore - the closer you get to the deadline, the more you change and replace and trash (until you miss the deadline) - so you must trash in the beginning, NOT later - what you do for a living is shipping, not beeing creative! - the lizards brain - our basic instincts (fear, hate, hunger) - we all have such, but people grew the lymbic system on top of this! - lizard brain is screeming short before shipping, and we hold back! - (like we currently do at doctape, somehow) - all of us dont need to get more creative, we are already very creative! - most peoples in their job have a quiet lizard brain, because they DONT need to challenge it (with simple day to day work). - thats me AND the blog!! - so learn to blog and have a shortcut! ship it after 2 pomodoros once a week! - the resistance gets worse and worse and worse the closer we are to shipping! - we find so many excusions for everything we are afraid to do!! (already learned: its the MOST important thing!!)
