Half Baked

Typically, when someone refers to someone or something as “half baked”, it’s not a particularly positive comment. It usually implies something essential is incomplete or missing.  In contrast, Seth Godin posted a contrary suggestion on his blog advocating for the idea that the value of creating the conditions for doing great work involves considering just that.

When you leverage the creative tension inherent in putting work out there while it’s still in process, you just might create something spectacular or genius.

 Whatever you may be engaged in creating, consider this concept. Exercise both your courage and your freedom. It will be fine! Put down those censoring constraints that have nothing to offer you tomorrow as they are only invested in protecting yesterday.  

“Half-baked work, shared in a trusting environment, is the fuel for the system that created the works of genius.” - Seth Godin
