The scary thing about “being prolific” is that you might saturate the world with so much of you that they no longer feel like paying attention.
Valid fear? I don’t think so.
But I’ve realized that’s why I struggle writing consistently rather than waiting for the “good essays” to come to mind.
If the world is gonna get sick of me, I want them to be sick of my best work, not my mediocrity.
Another part of me feels like the fear is rooted in a lack of effort, not in an abundance of output. In other words, I just don't feel like I'm trying hard enough.
Why *can't* I write a better essay in one day?
Why *can't* I build the company I want in six months?
In 2024, I don't want to be scared of prolific output. The only fear should be that I didn't try hard enough.
