Failure to launch
jasonleow • 16 Mar 2023 •
I’ve been having a launch problem. Built too many plugins, but launched too little. In February, I want to build build build. But I forgot it needs to be paired with another critical action:
Launch launch launch.
And I made 7 plugins recently, but lanched only 1!
What’s holding me back? The classic dilemma of work I enjoy versus the work I don’t enjoy.
I love building and creating, but don’t enjoy making the tutorials for it. That’s always been the weak point in pipeline for me. I procrastinate procrastinate procrastinate till like 1-2 months later before the guilt of not launching finally snowballs into a big enough mass to get me to act.
So what can I do? What hacks can I try to ensure I don’t skip on work I hate?
Help me out here:
- Lower the bar: Every day do one ridiculously small task at a time.
- Leverage inspiration: Write the tutorial immediately after making plugin.
- Outsource: Hire a copywriter to write the tutorial (but requires familiarity with the code)
- Commit: Recognise the ridiculousness of this problem and just f**king do it.
I think I know which solution to choose now.

Isn’t ChatGPT sophisticated enough now to create tutorials?
@knight Great idea. If someone asks for it then it’s data that says it’s time to make a tutorial 💪
@therealbrandonwilson Hmmm it can write a tutorial if i give it enough prompts and details about how to integrate my plugin into Carrd, but by then i might as well write it myself haha.
launch first other later. Just like i challenge my self to build Adalo plugin, i build and launch first. Until someone wanna buy and ask for screen shot then I prepare, user ask for demo, then i do.
