RE: Day 1 - Steem Advent Calendar 2019, Win prize everyday! 🎄🎁

One thing that I have learned, as a web developer and designer for well over a decade now professionally (even longer than that overall, I started with self-taught HTML at age 10 in 1996) is that the more you put things off to try and plan for them, the further you find yourself waiting and then one day you'll notice that a ton of time has gone by. At least that's how it's worked for me at stretches in the past, until I was able to put that bad habit behind me. Procrastination is a real killer, especially when we can convince ourselves that we are just being meticulous or thorough in our planning/preparation. The best work I've ever created, the projects that have gotten the most positive feedback and led to tons of opportunities for myself, have all been ones that I just went with and worked hard to hit the ground running, not focusing entirely on every tiny aspect of them. Then once they would have a base of content or a sense of purpose making them operational, I would continue to work away at the project because in reality, nothing in our world is ever truly completed and it's easy to become obsessed with nit-picky little stuff, especially as a perfectionist. One example I give is a friend who was all intent on starting his own livestreaming show/channel on YouTube. He talked about it for months and months, did a ton of research into the various equipment necessary, learned how to do the software, went out and purchased all kind of stuff like cameras, lighting, green screen, an encoder and switcher, an upgraded computer, etc. By the time he was "ready to start" he was still internally deliberating over whether or not his microphone was "good enough", when in the 3 years he spent in preparation, a channel who had started at the same time using nothing but the bare-bones setup and equipment they already had, is now an established channel with over 40k subscribers who streams regularly to over 2500 people at a time, and they have upgraded their stuff with a whole studio of their own. He's still waiting to start. Just some friendly advice, don't let yourself be held back by arbitrary constraints. The phones we all carry around every day are more than powerful enough, if used correctly, to create some incredible content far more sophisticated than the best computer on the market could do even a few short years back. Do what I did to get out my rut, start making, keep making. Force yourself to do it every day, and stick to it. Before you know it, you'll be in the groove of things.
