-Quality over quantity.-
Practice makes perfect.

[abj]

For whoever needs this, there's a quote I like (usually used for acting):
"Through repetition you make the difficult easy, the easy interesting, and the interesting beautiful"

[kristinadroz]

One nuance though. In oder to achieve the highest quality from quantity, one must learn something new with each practice in order to improve the outcome. There are people who do mediocre work for years, because they have no desire for improvement, or they are not smart enough, curious or observing to identify ways of perfecting their job.

It's not just that you will learn when you do things repeatedly, it is also very motivating to actually finish something.

[erinzys]

This is. Exactly what I needed to hear, thank you!

Well, obviously the quantity group did better. They were judged on the quality of their 30th pot, and the "quality" group was judged on the quality of their first.

The quantity group had another advantage: Over the course of the month, they were able to learn who was best at which part of the process, and divide roles as needed, where the "quality" group got one shot at it.

I'm always learning from you 🤩 thank you!

Focusing on quantity is your way to quality💙

I struggle to grasp the logistics of working on one pot for 30 days. Doesn't the clay dry up or something?

[OneOfThemSprinkles]

That's called pratice. I think I and some other people in the comment section interpreted this slightly differently than you. It's not just about losing that fear of imperfection, an artist spends their whole life practicing and mostly don't lose that fear. It's about starting over, analyzing your mistakes, testing and trying in different ways. I don't work with clay or pots in any way and can't say how it goes for them but I suppose it's similar.

You aren't entirely wrong, I do think it helps to not get too stuck in one idea and it does help with that fear of imperfection, it just isn't all the story wants to say, at least I don't think so.

There are probably people explaining better than me though 😅

I love your content, this changes everything and answers lot

[carlabamford]

You are most helpful creator I watch! This paralysis is especially true for writing (I think?) Write bad and write often!

[Crunk]

I love these !!! Keep doing them everyday

[muqadasah]

No matter how many times I heard you speak about quantity over quality, but for some reason, I was never convinced, except for this time. I guess because it explains the fact that how quantity "leads to" quality!
Thanks for sharing!

[siliciaveerah]

Omg this actually makes some sense into why I stress out when drawing.... I focus on quality instead of doing it repeatedly to get better

[completeoke]

Thank you Ali..this is correct..you will also find something similar in the book Atomic Habits..

[bonanzaoxo]

Thank you, your videos are enlightening

[moumenserbis]

This doesn't work for surgery! The first ones are very important to perfect

[redbaron]

OK, not going to lie. This has become one of my all time favorite channels...
