Why I am sharing my weekly Visual Notes

For the past 2,5 years, I’ve been making and sharing a Visual Note every week. But WHY?

 

I mean, come on, let’s be honest. My scribblings are quite childish. My handwriting is horrible. So horrible in fact, I can’t even write a proper A. On top of that, it’s awkwardly vulnerable and personal to just throw it in the open. Not to mention that it’s also takes time. So yes, WHY? is the question to ask.

 

Well, let me tell you why. I’ve battled with perfectionism for quite a long time, to a point were I struggled to share anything. So, I decided it was time to take some serious therapy. My own therapy to be clear. Sharing my Visual Notes in a set rhythm, forcing me to stop tinkering into eternity and get my imperfect into the open. Weekly giving perfection an imperfect kick in the teeth till the’re not so scary anymore.

 

Tough it often still feels like I’m kicking myself. Ouch! But I want to, you see. Because I’m a creator. Like you. Like everybody. And a key to creating is making a move. Doing. Sharing. Opening up to see what happens. Getting stuff out of my perfect head into my imperfect hands. Because, if I ever want to hold close to perfect in my hands, it’s by getting the imperfect out there. Again and again and again. Ouch!
