While working in the chemical industry, I learned an important principle.
It takes substantially less time and resources to achieve 90% purity of a product. The remaining 10%, needs exponential efforts.
This is true for the problems we face in our life. Most often, we can have a sub-optimal solution for a problem in almost a flash. A perfect solution needs more thinking and resources.
In our quest for the perfect solution, we choose inaction. Here are 3 things to remember:
1. Significant progress can be achieved by small incremental improvements (Kaizen).
2. Consistent progress is more important than perfection.
3. A half-baked solution is way better than inaction. It is the starting point for breaking inertia.
