Perfection is overrated

For something to be considered perfect, it has to be finished first.

In my day to day work I never really “finish” any of my projects. There will always be an enhancement to be made in the next iteration, or the next phase leading to something new entirely.

What I’m trying to say is that I rarely have to opportunity to make something perfect because I never stop working on it.

Sometimes we just have to settle with doing the best we can, with the time allotted, just to be done with the work for the time being.

Whatever it is that you are working on, it’s probably in pretty good shape if you think it’s even somewhat ready for people to see. Just go ahead and put it out there, and let the feedback point you to the next step.

It doesn’t have to be perfect to be fantastic.
