Hi Peter, absolutely. The context here is that of running your small practice, and the stresses that mount - ideally to let everyone know that they are not alone, I go through the exact same challenges, hence the post! Wise words regarding not being able to do everything we want to do for our own self imposed deadlines - See Note 005 Time for my musings and tips on this. Perfection is the truly enemy of good - especially in a creative field like ours where there is 'no right answer'. When is a project finished? When you present and meet your deadline. As Woody Allen famously said in 1983: "80 percent of success... is showing up"
I think meeting deadlines needs to be put in context. Studio sets us up for just working more and more hours. Understanding the output required is what allows us to meet a deadlines. Truly understanding what matters and what doesn’t matter to meet that deadline and acknowledging that it may not be possible to do everything that we want to do is one of the best lessons I’ve learned.
