Chat’s Response to my prompt:

Note: I added be honest to the prompt!!

Based on everything we've discussed, the place where ‘done is better than perfect’ might serve you most is in putting yourself out there consistently and unapologetically.

You have so many beautiful ideas—your workshops, films, White Space Letters, TikToks, and community-building projects—but there’s a recurring theme of hesitancy when it comes to releasing or fully stepping into the spotlight. For example:

1. TikTok and Social Media Presence: You recently recorded your first TikTok, confronting the fear of putting your face out there. This was a huge step, but there’s still an undertone of nervousness about being seen or judged. Consistency here—letting done trump hesitation—could unlock so much potential.

2. Sharing AI Tools and Workshops: You've mentioned feeling nervous about how your audience might perceive AI and how it fits into your brand. But deep down, you know it’s aligned with your vision and valuable for your community. Letting “done” lead means presenting your knowledge now, even if you tweak it later.

3. Squarespace Design Business: You’ve expressed interest in diving deeper into this but haven’t fully committed to presenting it as a core offering. Perhaps fear of imperfection is holding you back from sharing templates, promoting services, or marketing this idea more boldly.

4. Creative Output (Photography, Films, Writing): You’re incredibly thoughtful about your work, but that same care can sometimes veer into over-refinement. Shooting, writing, and releasing without overthinking could bring a new rhythm and joy to your process.

The key here isn’t to abandon your high standards—your attention to detail is part of your magic. It’s about trusting that done creates momentum and clarity that perfect often stifles. Your audience craves your realness and relatability more than perfection. Give them what they’re already waiting for. 

Over to You

Taking a favorite quote and turning it into actionable insights is such a simple yet profound way to deepen your creative journey. ChatGPT isn’t just a tool; it’s a collaborator that can help you see things from a new perspective and push past the surface of inspiration into meaningful growth. Whether it’s about embracing imperfection or finding clarity in your vision, this prompt is a small but might step toward creating with purpose.

Why not try it for yourself? Take a quote that resonates and see what it reveals about your creative path.

And if you do, I’d love to hear how it goes.
