Perfectionism is evil. If you want to succeed, stop trying to do everything perfectly
“Make 15 pots of satisfactory quality or make just 1 but GOOD to pass the test” – the following task was once assigned to students. As it turned out later, it was an experiment. The results surprised even those who’d made it up: the students who chose the less energy-intensive option, the second one to be more precise (to make one best pot), couldn’t even reach the average result and catch up with other group.
The first version of the mentioned story was shared by me even before I started this blog. It’s developing smoothly for now, without serious efforts or investments from my side. The audience isn’t very extensive yet, but the fact that there are people who has found the published information useful makes me happy and inspires. ⠀ Those who’s followed me from the very beginning can confirm that the blog was launched on the principle of the mentioned 15 pots and I had to adjust everything along the way. There is still a lot of work to do, but if I wanted to do everything perfectly initially, the blog wouldn’t come to life. “Naffigator” is just a small part of my life - one of the 6-7 key areas of activity.
In fact, I apply the same approach in other spheres of my life. Questions and doubts are resolved along the way. Problems come post factum, as well as updates and refinements. Minor things are discarded in cold blood. Workflows are streamlined and optimized. The engine is slowly gaining momentum. So soon the world will see some more interesting projects. Well, It's not for sure... ©
