There’s something relieving about adding “V1” to the end of a project name, file or email.
It gives you permission to accept that it may not be perfect.
It gives you reassurance that the person or people on the receiving end of it will understand that there’s more to come and more room for improvement.
Heck, they may even weigh on on how you can make it better.
I bring it up because we hurt ourselves when we don’t mark things as V1 and respect that meaningful change is made over time with multiple versions and tweaks and improvements.
