The phrase “done is better than perfect,” has started to change my productivity journey in amazing ways. Focusing on just completing something, and maybe doing so in a way that’s a bit unordinary, is a more productive mindset than focusing on perfection. Drop preconceived notions of how and when things should be done and do what works for you. Small scale example would be making my bed in the morning: because I didn’t feel like taking everything off the bed, going through all the “correct steps”, etc., I wouldn’t do it. Now I sit in my bed, organize my pillows and fix the blanket up just a bit. It’s not perfect looking, but for the past few weeks my bed has been made in the morning. This can be easily applied to any work/studying you may be procrastinating as well. If you’ve been pushing off an essay, just get anything and everything you know on the paper, it doesn’t have to be perfect or organized or even make sense, everybody starts somewhere. Done is better than perfect.
