Every choice has a “good enough” version. Find it before you burn a week chasing perfect.

Most decisions have a floor that satisfies the actual requirement, and almost everything above that floor costs more than it returns. The trouble is that the floor is invisible until you define it, so effort keeps going in with nothing to stop it. Perfect is not a standard; it is the absence of one.

Before you start the next assignment, write down what finished looks like in a single sentence. Include the smallest version that would genuinely count. When you hit it, decide on purpose whether to keep going rather than drifting past it.
