"The Best Is Not Too Good"

...is the more literal word-for-word translation of "Det bedste er ikke for godt". Working with the mindset that "the best" or perfection are accessible goals without ruthlessly racing toward them can lift a tremendous amount of pressure off a workload. Rather than asking "Is this perfect?" one can ask questions like:

• Is this the best I can do with what I have?

• Does this need to be absolutely perfect?

• Is my standard for perfection unreasonably high?

Questions like these can open the door for more honest evaluations of our own abilities and perceptions.
