Each day is a blank page waiting to be written. Will you repeat what has been written a thousand times before? Or will craft a new story?

The pen is in your hand. The choice is yours.

This is life. This is what you have. Don’t overthink it. Keep it simple.

Thinking about “vision” and “purpose” can get a bit soupy for me. I am not someone who was blessed with a clear vision for his life. Always been a more of a “make this up as I go” kind of person.

I suspect most people are this way. Navigating life without a compass.

This is not effective.

This is why we do not create a life that we want because we don’t truly know what we want.

How do we find our vision? I honestly do not have an answer for that. I have guesses. I have theories. I’ve read what others have written on this topic.

Right now for me it goes back to quantity. Quantity of action. Quantity of creating.

If my quantity theory pans out I’ll let you know.

I’ve been living in a prison of perfection. My creative pursuits have all but stopped because I don’t want to hit “publish” on work because it is not good enough. A few times I even publish and then deleted because I did not feel it was good enough.

This can not go on.

In order to work my way out of this funk I am working on a theory of quantity over quality. Basically my goal beginning September 1, 2020 is to publish every day no matter what.

My main focus will be on YouTube videos but this theory also includes many other digital channels.

Quantity Theory is based on the idea of creating a lot of work with out focusing on the quality of the work. The most important thing is hitting publish every single day.

Quality is the ultimate goal of course but quantity is needed in order to generate a feedback loop, build new habits, and provide structure to my schedule.

This is not a new idea and you can find examples out there of people advocating for it but I feel a majority of advice a creative person will be given is that quality is better than quantity. Which is true of course but in order to create quality one needs a lot of practice through quantity of actions.

I am still working on developing an outline of what this will look like that will include how often I publish where.

I wanted to publish this post as the beginning of this experiment. A place to look back on and know when I started this crazy idea.
