For 30 days I will spend most of my awake-time creating music. The point of this trial is to eradicate the control my perfectionism has over my desire to create music, make myself generally more comfortable with the quality of music I produce, and of course to put me in a habit of being productive on a daily basis.

At the end of each day I will post on this forum a link to a sample of music that I had worked on earlier that day. Right now I mostly hide my music in shame (not because I think it is objectively bad but because of perfectionist thoughts that I know aren't realistic but have a hard time shaking off), so I figure putting it out in the open and starting to feel a bit proud of myself again will go a long way in encouraging me to create more in the future.
