Can the best be the enemy of the good?

FORMAT: 17-minute micro-productivity webinar plus time for Q&A

I Quote from Forbes:

"Too often, people mistake progress for perfection. They spend more time staring at the weeds than they do assessing the forest.

They get lost in the details instead of asking whether their work is moving them in the right direction. And most of all, they are confused about the meaning of “done.”

Voltaire, the French writer, said, “The best is the enemy of the good.” Confucius said, “Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.” And, of course, there’s Shakespeare: “Striving to better, oft we mar what’s well.”

Effective work is about moving toward the desired destination, and not necessarily about ensuring that nothing gets spilled or knocked over in the process. Mistakes will happen. Missteps will occur. It’s momentum that matters, and ensuring that time is not wasted obsessing over the little things that won’t end up moving the needle anyway."

These are the ideas we will explore in this micro-productivity webinar, in alignment with the wisdom of Alan Weiss: "Life is about success, not perfection."
