It sure is tough to do things we hate. We can like doing something one year, and not the next, and the difference in how we feel when doing it can be huge. This is why it is important to do as much as we can of something we are interested in while we still have that interest.

Thanks there about how it is a slightly different take on that concept. You won’t see me say “go the extra mile” – at least not this week. I had one article before about this similar material, and it was titled “Don’t Forget To Put The Cilantro In Your Sandwich”. It was also food related, which is interesting for me to see now.

That is an interesting relation to how you miss some details. I bet some creators have wondered why you didn’t react to something they put time into.

My goal with the picture was to either make you hungry or add details to a project. Those are the only options here.

That is a nice set of additions right there. When you analyze the little additions of others, you get great ideas. Sometimes I get good ideas for how to write better from seeing the added touches some folks put in their articles.

That point about not stopping at the first revision sure is key to putting out a real detailed work. You finish, and then add on, and then add on, and then it is something with layers of goodness.

Thanks about the support there.

1. Look at other projects that are similar to the sort of thing that you are working on and look for the little touches the other person has added. This will show you places you could add detail to your own project.

2. Don’t stop at the first revition. If you just turn something out and then walk away from it, it is a sure bet that there is more work that can be done. If you are a low detail person work past the point that you feel something is done.

If you have not guessed yet I strongly agree with what Armen has written here and think it is not just something that should be read but acted on.

It’s good to recognize where we are on the “attention to details” spectrum. I appreciate that about the “people that matter” point, because filtering occurs on its own, and we don’t have to try to appease everyone.

Well, you could always go the route of skipping the details, and working on greater output, and that could work as well. There might be less details for people to take notice of there, but if it is better suited to your strengths, people will notice other aspects of your doing.
