on quality: it takes me about 40 minutes to write a summary of something that I’ve already read and understood. That’s about the level of detail and quality I need, for my own learning purposes. It might even be informative to other people. Summarizing is a modest goal, I think, and it shouldn’t take anything like “genius.”
I’m all glad it works for you, but 1) does not work if you don’t start. 2) does not work if you care about quality (except if you’re a genius).

Quality matters if you have a community that’s interested in your work; you’ll get more “nice job” comments if it IS a nice job.
