🌱 Publish Before You're Ready: Creative Discipline Through Digital Gardening

Most people treat ideas like products.

They hold them tight. They polish, perfect, and second-guess until the world looks level. They wait until everything makes sense in their head. "Then" they launch.

But if you’re building something long-term—like I am with Cathedral—or any idea too big to fit in a single post, you need a different approach.

You need to garden.

A digital garden isn’t a blog or content marketing; it's not a lawn you mow once or a tree you plant but forget to water.

It’s a living, breathing system of thoughts that evolve out loud.

You plant notes. You prune what doesn’t grow.

Share early, refine later.

Creative discipline is the habit of tending—not launching.

If something is stuck in your head and won't leave you alone, start here:

Write down one unfinished idea you’ve been holding back.

Post it on Nostr. Let it breathe. Don’t wait. Step 2: Do it again.

The ideas will either live, thrive, or die.

But one thing is certain:

If you keep it in your head, it dies right where it was born.
