We can have the very best of intentions when we deeply desire the perfect answer. Most of the time, there is none.

When we find ourselves with a problem to solve or a situation to deal with we can develop a laser focus, bent on discovering that perfect answer. The only solution. We can expend lots of time and energy searching endlessly and fruitlessly for it. Or we could simply put off making a decision that we actually know has no perfect answer, in the vain hope that one will simply appear. The challenge can crop up in all sorts of scenarios, from estate planning to succession planning, sharing a vacation home and many more. The perfect answer is often elusive.  Better to pick a choice, make a decision, reach a resolution that works, imperfectly, but well enough.
