Goblin Mode: Curing Perfectionism with "Garbage First"
Why trying to be perfect is keeping you stuck.
👹 What is Goblin Mode?
In internet slang, "Goblin Mode" means giving up on social expectations and just being a messy, feral little creature. In productivity, it's a powerful tool against perfectionism.
Perfectionism is just fear in fancy shoes. You are afraid to start writing the email because you're afraid it won't be professional enough. So you procrastinate.
Goblin Mode says: "I will write the worst, messiest, most unprofessional email possible. I will be a goblin."
🧠 The Science: Lowering the Bar
Your brain perceives a "Perfect Essay" as a massive threat. It perceives "Garbage Text" as easy. By giving yourself permission to be bad, you lower the Activation Energy required to start.
- The Draft: "i need u to send the files pls thx bye"
- The Edit: "Could you please send over the files when you have a moment? Thanks!"
You can edit a bad page. You can't edit a blank page.
