August 28th - Decide what's "good enough"
Aug 28, 2025
Striving for high-quality work IS important. BUT…
Spending hours perfecting one section of an assignment while other parts go unpolished, or getting too locked in to one assignment and neglecting another, isn’t productive.
Despite all your hard work, in the end, you don’t win.
A more useful strategy is to understand what is “good enough” and set that as your goal.
Knowing what’s “good enough” lets you:
-
meet all the requirements of your assignments, across the board
-
keep your work consistent and complete
-
finish on time without unnecessary stress
When you strive for “good enough,” you ensure your projects are evenly complete and avoid burning precious time and energy on unrewarded perfectionism.
Not to mention the hits from consistently completing tasks. Ding! Done! Dopamine!
Good enough gets things done:
