A corollary to this I include in my life is "Do your worst." I get stuck a lot creatively: this feature I'm building is too hard, this design in my head is too vague, my article idea sucks, my video isn't going to make sense, etc. What helps me break through that, is just put the crappiest version out on the page. No edits. Radical self-acceptance of whatever I put on the screen. Often the whole thing gets a huge refactor. Yesterday's architecture document I was working on started this way and I ended up throwing the entire first version out. But that crappy first version totally unblocked me to get something I'm now proud of.
