Reactions to reading my own old work:
50%: meh, why did I even bother
25%: *cringe*😳
15%: hmm, I can see why that did very well, but meh
5%: Aww, cute. Glad I outgrew that though.
2%: Shit, I’ll never write like that again
1%: Mourn the passing of the guy who wrote that 😢

how do you handle the past cringe? e.g. do you simply ignore it even exists, rework it into new pieces, write it off as cost of doing business, something else?
(my % of cringe old work is likely higher than 25, and probably the biggest mental blocker to producing higher output)
