Move fast, break things

You probably heard of this before.

It seems to be quite popular in the web development, indie-hacking, and startup worlds.

But it’s a horrible mindset to adopt.

Because while it is a command to move fast, it is also a command to break things.

What ends up broken, if you are willing to dig deeper and expand yourself to see more, are usually the things that are truly important to you. Values. Promises. Relationships. Things like that.

Fixing things that are broken take far more energy, time and care than if you just moved without breaking them.

I rather move with intention instead. And while I’m at it, increase my intensity as I go along.

I will end up fast and impeccable.
