This is maybe just me, but I need to remind myself of the opposite: All solutions are temporary and imperfect. So just do something, I can always go back and correct it.
For me this means that I'm allowed to store away 3 things from the moving box, even though I don't know where to put the rest yet. To invite others even though I don't know what to cook yet or to write a bad implementation quickly, instead of spending hours figuring out the best one.
I think a balance of perfectionism and can-do is important. But as people are predisposed differently, either advice might make sense in different circumstances.
- augment_me 1y agoI actually did not mean the post as a call to perfection/action but I can see why it could be seen as such. You can have a temporary solution that is good-enough for its purpose at a time. I advocate for the conscious effort to evaluate your intention so that you can feel a sense of agency around whatever happens afterwards because you are more likely to lose context, and the initial intention, as time passes.

Different people may need the opposite advice. Or you may need the opposite advice at different times. Not just in this case, but in life in general.
