There is only one way to eat an elephant: a bite at a time. — Desmond Tutu
Can’t stress how powerful this is. Remember the 3-part model our Creator’s Manual uses? Building consistency falls under Level 1: Get going. That means if you do too much to get good at once, you’ll struggle.
Once you have a streak, say, for 5 months, make it 2 templates per month. Then, maintain the streak for another few months, and increase your frequency until the one you’re comfortable with.
Weekly launch forces you to focus on making things simple & having the bare minimum build that solves the problem.
It’s just like starting a YouTube channel or a weekly newsletter, you churn out content to get going, then figure out how to get good a little by a little along the way.
You may not be fully satisfied with everything, but, in the end, you get better consistency and ample experience.
