The Perfect Is the Enemy of the Good

The perfect is the enemy of the good. The best is the enemy of the good. – Voltaire

Nothing is perfect and waiting for the perfect moment or killing yourself trying to ensure that every thing your hand touches is done perfectly is a sure way to not get anything done at all.

Getting caught up in the idea that your desk, work bench, house, or office must be in perfect shape for you to really get stuff done can just as easily result in getting nothing done. Learn to recognize what’s good enough.

Perfectionism kills me.
