Chapter 1: The Importance of Standards

It's crucial to uphold your standards in writing. When you acquire new skills, your efficiency naturally improves since you make fewer mistakes.

Quoting someone, “I could envision doing it, but only if I significantly reduce my standards.” This perspective seems illogical to me, yet I frequently encounter it.

The key lies in mastering the necessary skills, not in simplifying your work. By enhancing your abilities, you boost your efficiency, which leads to fewer errors overall. In contrast, dumbing down your writing will likely raise your error rate, ultimately resulting in longer intervals between your projects.

Lowering your standards can hinder your productivity. Conversely, refining your skills can amplify your output. Isn’t it more reasonable to focus on skill enhancement rather than diluting your efforts?

I hope this insight aids anyone interested in a rapid release strategy. Wishing you success with your endeavors!
