MINDSET - The Reason Why "Good Enough" Is Better Than PERFECT

If the

of the project is vague, the perfectionist must define the goal for his/her self...and then the goal will become "perfection". If the goal is defined and documented enough, then it can be established to not require perfection. Much easier for everyone involved.

I've learned that the following has helped me: A clearly defined and well documented

Get SOMETHING done instead of trying to get it right first. In some cases, first impressions are critical, but if you can force yourself not to worry too much about first impressions - allowing yourself to admit that you can always change and improve on things later - you can accomplish things you didn't think possible.

when I overcame my 'perfectionist' traits - I saw my progress skyrocket as a result of it.

Ironically, I'd argue that actually imperfection is perfect. As the world around us is imperfect, so to provide an imperfect solution for an imperfect world is best fit. A perfect solution might never match an imperfect solution because both can be universes apart in compatibility.

Don't get me wrong, don't release rubbish products, rubbish content etc.. plan to make it as good as you can from day 1, but don't spend months thinking how to make something better when you haven't even made anything yet.
