My fail=win checklist:
  If I am extremely
  reluctant and even
  embarrassed to show
                                  Iʼm doing it
                                  right.             ✓
  the design...


  If I feel comfortable           I should have
  or proud of it...               shown it sooner.   !
If I feel stuck...                I GO FASTER.
                                                     !
