You Don’t Have to Love It

Here’s something that often catches folks off guard when I reveal them:

I am seldom content with my finished work.

I lose objectivity, I get bored with it, perfectionism is always at work.

I try not to care.

I aim to deliver regardless, and move on.

I don’t always succeed with that (I have a lot of “almost finished” material that is just sitting there).

But I do finish enough to have a steady flow of releases that keeps up my momentum.

(BTW the latest by me and Loxy just came out on Future Retro – with remixes by Tim Reaper, Double O and Basic Rhythm – vinyl and digital – link here:

Now look.

If you’re struggling with finishing and not getting your music out there – 

Maybe all you need is a mindset shift. 

Manage your expectations.

Don’t aim for flawless outcomes.

More importantly, understand:

You don’t have to love every aspect of your work in order to put it out there.

Go easy on yourself.

Good enough is good enough, and worth presenting.
