#242: Done is Better Than Perfect: How To Make Consistent Progress


Listen Later

Do you ever find yourself stuck in an endless loop of refinement, unable to call a project complete? Whether you're rerecording videos countless times, endlessly tweaking emails, or spending more time planning than executing, perfectionism creates the illusion of progress while actually keeping you stuck. When everything feels incomplete and the mountain of "to-dos" seems insurmountable, it's time for a new approach. In this episode, I'm sharing the transformative mindset shift that will free you from perfectionism's grip and help you embrace the power of completion.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • The "Progress Paradox" why perfection actually prevents the results you're seeking

  • A simple framework to determine when something is truly "done enough"

  • How to create momentum-building completion rituals that train your brain to value finished over flawless

  • Why consistent small wins dramatically outperform occasional perfect outcomes

Perfectionism promises excellence but delivers stagnation. By the end of this episode, you'll have practical tools to break the cycle of endless refinement and embrace the liberating truth that done truly is better than perfect. Ready to start experiencing the satisfaction of completion and the consistent progress that follows? Let's dive in.
