Lowering the bar for quality work involves recognizing that not every word written needs to be perfect, but simply needs to exist. Focusing on getting the work onto the page, rather than worrying about its quality, allows for progress. It is important to understand that the aim is not to produce a good piece of work immediately, but to start somewhere and refine it later. Lowering the bar for quality work is especially beneficial for beginners, as setting a high standard right from the start can be discouraging and hinder progress. By lowering the bar, it becomes easier to get started and overcome procrastination, ultimately leading to the ability to get into a state of flow more easily.
