6th Edition: Is Perfect The Enemy Of Good Feat. Mrs. True Say
Manage episode 284680825 series 2872261
Is perfect the enemy of good? Let this one sink in..
Voltaire, Aristotle, Confucius, even Quincy Jones knew achieving absolute perfection, was impossible.
Increasing effort results in diminishing returns. The more energy you put in to try and produce that perfect picture or body of work, the further away from perfection you get because that additional effort just becomes inefficient.
Sometimes we have to let go of that analysis paralysis, and instead of pushing ourselves to an impossible 'perfect,' and therefore getting nowhere, start giving 'good' an honest look.
In this edition we look at how striving for perfection can deter you from the good using three key areas of our lives as working examples.
