Great article! I just finished reading and I have to say that I like hearing how people deal with this kind of situation, especially since I have such a different way of doing things.

When it comes to writing, I usually don't think too much about it, about failing and not creating good content. For me, it's fairly simple - either what I did is good, in which case I'll publish it, or it's not, in which case I'll delete it and I'll try again.

With other things however, like graphic design, things are little different, especially since I know I'm not particularly good at it.

But the way I deal with that is by simply forcing myself to keep working and trying no matter how many times I fail. In my case, waiting and "dealing" with failure just isn't working, and seems like a waste of time, so I just keep trying until I succeed at something, and when I do, I feel really good about it and focus on that feeling and at how happy I am for not giving up.

I guess everyone has a different way of dealing with failure. Some people just keep trying and ignoring everything else, while others reflect on the situation and try to learn from it.

Thanks for sharing your experiences and struggles :)
