Day 27: A Question I’ve Been Asking Myself Lately (And Why) - Ship30for30
As I make into the home stretch of this 30-day writing challenge you've all been experiencing first-hand, I've been spending a lot of my time thinking about the importance of consistency.
Lately, one question I've been asking myself is this:
How Important Is Consistency Without Quality?
Imagine you go to your favorite Italian restaurant and order a pasta dish that you love. Every time you come back, you expect it to taste the same. But one day, you get your Noodles Alfredo Supreme and it just doesn't taste right. The ingredients are still there, but it's just not as delicious as it used to be.
That's what it's like when you focus on consistency without quality - it's predictable, but it's missing something. It doesn't have the flavor and impact that you were expecting.
For these 30 days, in order to stick to the challenge, I've made sure that one piece of writing makes it out the door. But I'm always wondering, are the noodles up to par?
There's something to be said for taking consistent imperfect action, but I don't want that to be an excuse for shipping crap. Especially with this new wave of AI-driven content.
Will I be looking for a breather on Day 31? That's still up in the air. If you've been struggling with similar thoughts, I'd love to hear your feedback!
