Honestly, after making stuff for ages, I'm sure hunting for the 'perfect' tool just wastes your creative juice.

Totally get that. It's like when you spend more time comparing writing apps than actually writing, or testing every guitar pedal instead of learning a new song. The tool becomes a distraction from the real work. You end up with all the gear but no finished projects. At some point you just have to commit to what's in front of you and make the thing.

That search for the perfect thing before starting is everywhere once you see it. People will research camera gear for a year instead of taking photos on their phone, or buy every kitchen gadget while the simple knife gathers dust. It feels like moving forward, but it's really just a very pretty way to stall. The mind would rather plan the perfect project than face the hard work of a real one. At the end of the day, the best tool is the one that gets you to begin.
