Less is More, But... | Ep. 155

Today, I dive into the concept of "less is more" and share my personal journey as a writer. 

Inspired by a quote from Rick Rubin, I discuss the idea that to achieve excellence and do less but better, we often have to put in more effort initially. 

There was a pivotal moment in my life when I realized I needed to provide for my future wife and decided to pursue writing as a career. 

Remembering my father's belief in my writing abilities…I committed to writing 3,000 words every day for a year, aiming to reach a million words and improve my skills. 

Through this process, I discovered that good writing is rewriting and great writing is concise writing, as exemplified by the significant word reduction during the editing phase. 

I emphasize the importance of quantity in the early stages of any creative endeavor…as it eventually leads to quality. 

As we progress, we can shift our focus to doing less but better, honing our craft and delivering high-quality output. 

The ultimate goal is to reach a point where we can combine both quantity and quality, achieving mastery in our chosen pursuit. 

For me, doing less but better extends beyond work and encompasses prioritizing activities that align with my goals and bring fulfillment. 

I encourage you to reflect on your own journeys and find the balance that ultimately works for you.
