Do you struggle with perfectionism? We totally get it - it can be easy to put off recording your music out of the belief that every single element of it needs to be perfect. It can also be tricky to find time to dedicate solely to making music; so perfectionism combined with limited time can make it really difficult to actually sit down and get the music made.

Inside this episode Isobel discusses the importance of taking ‘imperfect action’ when making music, and explains how using the ‘assignment method’ helped her ditch the perfectionism and spend meaningful time making music. Remember, done is better than perfect!
