Ship before you’re ready
July 14, 2026
Most makers stall on polish. I stall on fear of looking unfinished.
A rule that works
Ship something every Friday — even if it’s a single paragraph and one screenshot.
- Pick one lesson from the week
- Write it like a note to a friend
- Hit publish before you re-read it three times
Done is a feature. Perfect is a postponement.
If you’re stuck, shrink the scope until it fits in one coffee.
What I cut
- Custom illustrations
- Long intros
- “I’ll add analytics later” rabbit holes
What I keep
- One clear takeaway
- One link to something I shipped
- One question for readers
That’s enough for a newsletter people actually finish.
