Eric's BlogThe Artist's Oath
The Artist’s Oath is a personal commitment to how I show up creatively. It is a reminder to lead with integrity, to resist the pressure to perform, and to make work that reflects truth, not just what gets attention. It is a compass for navigating the tension between expression and permanence, and a way to stay rooted in what matters: presence, process, and purpose, not perfection.

Have you ever been caught in the endless loop of trying to make something perfect?
Whether it's tweaking a project, rewriting an email, or adjusting the smallest details, it’s easy to get lost in the pursuit of perfection.
Perfectionism can lead to procrastination, burnout, and missed opportunities. It's a trap that can keep us from moving forward and realizing our full potential.
Instead, ask yourself, What’s the 80% solution?
The 80% solution is about finding the sweet spot where things are good enough to work well without draining all your time and energy.
It’s not about settling for mediocrity but recognizing when something is solid enough to get the job done and move forward.
By embracing the 80%, you free yourself from the paralysis of constant refinement and open up space for more creativity and progress.
Next time you find yourself stuck, take a step back and think: What does 80% finished look like?
This mindset shift can be liberating, helping you focus on what really matters and keep moving without getting bogged down by perfection
