If the choice is between finishing something, or perfecting it, done wins. Every time. Because done invites feedback, and feedback helps me improve. Once we admit to ourselves that perfect is impossible, all we’ve got left is done. And if it’s true that we learn from what we do, then the more we do, the more we learn. Getting to done, not perfect, then, is the fastest way to improve.
