🌊 Feelings

Good enough is finished

Decide what “done” looks like before you start.

Tiny version

Write one line: “This is done when…”

Good for

  • Perfectionism
  • Endless tweaking
  • Fear of handing something in

Why it helps

All-or-nothing thinking can block starting and finishing. A clear finish line makes the task smaller and kinder.

The full version

  1. Before starting, write what “done” means in one line.

  2. Aim for about 80%: useful, not perfect.

  3. When you reach it, stop and send it.

  4. Notice that nothing terrible happened.
