Done is Better Than Perfect: Embracing Imperfection for Success

Overview

Welcome to Audio Learning from Assemble You.

This lesson explores ‘done is better than perfect’ and how it can positively affect a person’s efficiency, impact, and mental well-being. It highlights how perfectionism, while aiming for excellence, can lead to delays and burnout.

We examine the concept of perfectionism and how this causes analysis paralysis, which prevents a person from moving forward with their work. We consider avoiding stress and unnecessary delays caused by waiting for absolute perfection.

We establish the value of learning from failure to iterate and emphasise the importance of progress over perfection. Practical steps are provided to overcome perfectionism, including setting clear deadlines, seeking feedback, and celebrating progress. Ultimately, the lesson encourages embracing imperfection, taking action, and learning from your experiences to achieve success.
