testing trial versions are the best

i think referring to my adobe as well as my things 3 situation

one of my creative constraints or at least my intentional effort towards minimalism is to always choose the trial or cheaper version of things.

within the x number of days, i’ll be able to decide if this is a need or a want, and even if its a need, how much of a need it is

i think similarly, with how prevalent [[ shiny object syndrome ]] is, we tend to jump to the next newest thing, but instead if we work within our creative constraints (and eventually form our own aesthetics), we can focus on doing the things that actually [[ move the needle ]] rather than catch ourselves in [[ productive procrastination ]] by contemplating on whether a tool is worth our money.
