The problem with the headline is that if you think ‘it’ isn’t good enough, then ‘just getting ‘it’ done’ will send you into a vicious loop that will spin out of control as the pressure to over-achieve builds up.
You really have to reframe your view of ‘enoughness’ in a more positive light, so instead of something being perfect (not enough until then), it’s finding a way to see what is good enough for the time being, that allows you to move on. Then you can go and do what you need (or do nothing if what you have is adequate) and take the weight off your shoulders.
The startup lingo for this is MVP. There’s no getting it done with that until you’ve reduced the scope of ‘it’.
