Excellence vs Perfection

You were stuck and you don’t want to be stuck again. You want this to be perfect… And that’s a problem.

In 1956, economist Herb Simon posited there way two perspectives on decision-making: maximizing and satisficing. Maximizing is aiming for total perfection. Satisficing is aiming for “good enough.” Which one do you think is preferable?

Perfectionism makes us miserable. Are you on some kind of kamikaze mission? Satisfice and strive for excellence instead of perfection.
