The less that people aimed for perfect, the more productive they became.

If you want to finish, you’ve got to do all that you can to get rid of your perfectionism right out of the gate. You’ve got to have fun, cut your goal in half, choose what things you’ll bomb, and a few other actions you won’t see coming at first.

This is the first lie that perfectionism tells you about goals: Quit if it isn’t perfect.

The day after perfect is what separates finishers from starters.
