Just about any project you could ever work on could be considered a work in progress.
It’s something that can break tomorrow and something that could take off.
When we begin to see all work as work in progress, we let go of the status-satisfying need to win, to get there first, to call something done.
(Alas, that doesn’t mean don’t ship you’re work. Ship it when it’s good enough and then keep shipping better versions. People love to see the progress.)
The idea of it being a work in progress is emotionally freeing. It gives you permission to suck, to stretch and to ask for help.
Turns out, a work in progress doesn’t quite feel like work.
Stay Positive & Keep Building Better
