Everybody knows if you are too careful you are so occupied in being careful that you are sure to stumble over something.
Truth suffers from too much analysis.
I've always heard people's criticisms twice as loudly as their praise.
I think it's almost impossible to edit something to death. I think you can make things better almost indefinitely.
I'm cursed with empathy. I'm also by nature way too opinionated.
Don't take too much advice. Most people who have a lot of advice to give ~ with a few exceptions ~ generalize whatever they did. Don't over-analyze everything. I myself have been guilty of over-thinking problems. Just build things and find out if they work.
I suspect people who are indecisive are people who are far too enamored of analysis in all settings and are destroying their ability to make an instinctive judgment through over-analysis and that's dangerous.
I'm very detail-oriented, which is good and bad. Because I will wake up in the middle of the night thinking about something or seeing a mistake, thinking about it, and I immediately send an email - I'm very focused on details.
I do a lot of planning and plotting. That's my greatest weakness. If I'm not terribly careful, I'll plan to a point where it could come out cut and dried.
When you're in the editing room, the dangerous thing is that it becomes like telling a joke again and again and again. Eventually, the joke starts to not be funny. So you have to be careful that you're not throwing the baby out with the bath water.
I get extremely detail-oriented. In my most stressed-out days, I get way more focused on those details than anyone should be.
My trouble is I analyze life instead of live it.
