Day 262: Trust your instincts. Don’t trust your instincts.

What does it mean to trust your instincts? It means that when you think a sentence should be improved, it probably should. When you think you have a better way to express an idea, you probably do. When you think you are not explaining yourself well, you probably aren’t.

What does it mean not to trust your instincts? It means that when you think you have explained a complex idea clearly, you probably haven’t. When you think you have written a particularly catchy, witty, or artistic phrase, you probably haven’t. When you think that your first draft is pretty good, it probably isn’t. When you think you don’t need to revise your document, you probably do.

Here’s the point: Trust yourself when you doubt what you have written. Don’t trust yourself when you think your first draft is fine.
