This not only hampers their growth but also fails to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/how-to-boost-productivity\/\">increase productivity<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>They whittle away at meaningless details \u2013 such as what font size their name should be on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/creative-business-card-design\/\">business card<\/a>, or whether they should make that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/call-to-action-button-templates\/\">CTA button<\/a> white or blue \u2013 and then wonder why they seem rooted in their current situation. They spin their wheels, as the saying goes, without ever making any real progress.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going to look at some of the most common types of minutiae that seem to trap freelance designers in a never-ending cycle of indecision, and explore some simple ways to break out of them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/freelance-designers-balance-work-life\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: How Freelance Designers Can Achieve Work-Life Balance\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">How Freelance Designers Can Achieve Work-Life Balance<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/freelance-designers-balance-work-life.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-10401 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/freelance-designers-balance-work-life.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">How Freelance Designers Can Achieve Work-Life Balance<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDo you work to live or live to work? Freelance designers often start with the idea that their...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Tiny Technicalities<\/h2>\n<p>Stop worrying about tiny changes like button size or shape unless your client\u2019s company is big enough that those types of changes matter. Any website smaller than eBay or Amazon probably isn\u2019t worth the stress, because the target customer base will respond mostly the same way to a variety of different UI configurations or CTAs.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/stop-debating-design-minutia\/obsessed-with-tiny-technicalities.jpg?2\" alt=\"obsessed with tiny technicalities\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\"><\/figure>\n<p>Tiny differences in color, placement, etc., are irrelevant, and if they hinder your progress on a project, they can actually be damaging to your career as a freelancer.<\/p>\n<h2>Pick Your Battles<\/h2>\n<p>Some elements of a design project have speed or budget as the number one priority, like foundational deliverables on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/juggling-deadlines\/\">tight deadline<\/a>. Other elements need to be done as perfectly and accurately as possible. Designers sometimes think that the latter is the most important, but it\u2019s usually the opposite.<\/p>\n<p>If you really analyze any design project you happen to be working on, you\u2019ll most likely find that the 80\/20 principle applies to the ratio of quality needed versus quantity.<\/p>\n<h3>What Takes Priority?<\/h3>\n<p>The elements of a project that absolutely require the most attention to detail are often not what you think they are. Usually, they\u2019re things like copy, where a single spelling error can utterly destroy a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/negative-product-reviews\/\">brand\u2019s reputation<\/a>, or the correct indexing of inventory or other offerings to customers. Rarely does the perfect font or color scheme seriously impact your client\u2019s bottom line.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/stop-debating-design-minutia\/web-design-priority.jpg?2\" alt=\"web design priority\" width=\"1000\" height=\"850\"><\/figure>\n<p>I\u2019m not saying these things aren\u2019t important; they\u2019re just not as important as many designers believe. Unless you or your client have hard data that proves otherwise, it\u2019s better to prioritize what really matters to users.<\/p>\n<h2>Stop Revising and Start Selling<\/h2>\n<p>You must know how to sell a client on a solution you believe is best, rather than letting them steamroll you into endless revisions. Salesmanship is a vital part of any business relationship.<\/p>\n<p>As the saying goes, every business is a sales business. Whether you\u2019re persuading people to buy your new brand of table salt or convincing a client that your solution is perfect for their problem, you\u2019re always in the business of selling.<\/p>\n<h3>Nitpickers Never Prosper<\/h3>\n<p>A hard truth in business is that those hired to polish and perfect a project are often the least significant in terms of importance to the team. If you find yourself overwhelmed with making minor corrections or constantly performing the design equivalent of janitorial work, it might be time to reassess the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/career-dilemma\/\">direction your career is taking<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/stop-debating-design-minutia\/perfectionist.jpg?2\" alt=\"perfectionist\" width=\"1000\" height=\"820\"><\/figure>\n<p>Sure, clients might appreciate your efforts, but do they genuinely value you as a designer? Unless the real solution to your client\u2019s problem involves crossing T\u2019s and nudging elements around a grid, I highly doubt it.<\/p>\n<h2>When It\u2019s Done, It\u2019s Done<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s a quote often attributed to Albert Einstein that goes something like this: \u201cMake it as simple as possible, but not simpler.\u201d Design is about providing the simplest, most elegant solution to a problem that one can, but some designers reach that solution about 3 or 4 revisions earlier than they realize.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/stop-debating-design-minutia\/done-and-perfect.jpg?2\" alt=\"done-and-perfect\" width=\"1000\" height=\"767\"><\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019re baking cookies, and after 10 minutes they\u2019re golden brown and perfect, you wouldn\u2019t put them back in the oven for an extra 10 minutes \u201cjust in case.\u201d Quality is important, and clients certainly care about it, but it\u2019s never wise to belabor a solution that is already satisfactory.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/habits-to-destroy-freelance-career\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 7 Insane Habits to Kill Your Freelance Writing Career\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">7 Insane Habits to Kill Your Freelance Writing Career<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/habits-to-destroy-freelance-career.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-16448 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/habits-to-destroy-freelance-career.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">7 Insane Habits to Kill Your Freelance Writing Career<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIt takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

This is an excellent trait overall (in my not-so-humble opinion), as it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/increase-creativity\/\">gives designers the creativity<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/keeping-design-skills-fresh\/\">freshness<\/a> that clients seek.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge lies in knowing when your natural meticulousness stops being helpful and starts becoming a hindrance. It\u2019s crucial to maintain a healthy balance and keep perspective so that your freelance career will grow rather than stagnate.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Break free from design indecision by understanding the traps of design minutiae.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":129,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3410],"tags":[3502],"topic":[4523,4521],"class_list":["entry-content","is-maxi"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.8 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
