When it comes to my projects, I’m a perfectionist. It is something that has caused problems in the past, as I often take so long to get everything “right” that the project ends up dying in the process.
I recently noticed that I was doing this with my baby, The Mongolian Experiment.
I originally conceived of this project all the way back in January. I was supposed to launch in February.
But then, every time I worked on the project, some new aspect of it would rear its ugly head and I would have to stop and figure it out. Once I had all the kinks worked out, I then had trouble trying to make an abstract concept sound concrete through the words on the site. That proved harder than I anticipated, and on top of that, I felt overwhelmed by how much I felt I needed to explain.
Recently though, I’ve come to the conclusion that everything I was doing was against the spirit of the project itself. The project is, in effect, about the process, and here I was trying to finish the process before starting the project! The irony struck me this past week, and I’ve decided that no matter how finished or unfinished I feel the site is, The Mongolian Experiment will be launching on…
Wish me luck!
