Show Work Every Day
Most people - if you can imagine this - you can't draw very well, but even if you can draw very well, suppose you come in, and you've got to put together animation or drawings and show it to a famous, world-class animator. Well, you don't want to show something which is weak or poor. So you want to hold off until you get it to be right. And the trick is, actually, to stop that behavior. We show it every day when it's incomplete. If everybody does it every day, then you get over the embarrassment. And when you get over the embarrassment, you're more creative. And that's - as I say - it's not obvious to people, but starting down that path helped everything that we did. Show it in its incomplete form. There's another advantage to doing that, and that is, when you're done, you're done. Now, that might seem silly, except that a lot of people - they work on something. And they want to hold it, and they want to show it, let's say, two weeks later to get done - only, it's never "right". So they're not done. So you need to go through this iterative process. And the trick was to do it more frequently to change the dynamics.
