Perfect is the Enemy of Good

Are you a perfectionist or have you at least delayed finishing a project because you didn't think it was quite good enough yet?

Well, I know I sure have. Whether you call it perfectionism, or not, either way we can become our own greatest hurdle as we slow down progress with the aim for the perfect result. Though what we really need to to implement is the famous 80/20 rule, which states that 80% of the results come from 20% of the action. This study has been proven in every aspect of life. So next time you are truly to get something done, remember that you can delay your own success with the pursuit of perfection, or you can simply use the 80/20 rule and know that you can receive 80% of the results with only 20% of the deliberate action needed.

Try it out for yourself and let me know how it works out for you. Feel free to hit my up with a DM on Instagram @NickTroutmanKayak. I would also love to hear more about the subjects that you are most interested in, or any individuals that you would like me to interview.
