In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I discuss the concept of how to lower the bar and doing “good enough” work and how it can help you maintain momentum during challenging times. Discover how to lower the bar without compromising your academic and career progress. I also offer several personal examples, practical strategies, and tips for managing the guilt associated with not always striving for perfection. Learn why it's okay to do good enough work and how this approach can actually lead to surprising wins.
