When we ask the question, ‘Did we do a good job?’, it’s retrospective.
And it’s usually the completion of a task or project that triggers the look back to survey the quality of the work.
The problem most artists run into is that their career is viewed as one long open ended undertaking. There are rarely points of completion along the way that bring up, ‘Did we do a good job?’
But maybe that could change. Maybe you could start looking at your career as a rolling series of projects. Projects that have a beginning and end. Projects that can be learned from and moved on from.
If we want to do better next time we need to be clear about how we did this time…Did we do a good job?
