How good should your work be?
This is a post about “good enough.”
“Good enough” is not good enough when it is:
- shoddy work
- the result of not caring
- a manifestation of avoidance.
“Good enough” is an approach that’s justified (and possibly even optimal) when:
- you need to have something out there in the world to see how it does
- your belief that you can plan a future sequence of events is an erroneous belief in controllability
- you have perfectionist tendencies that keep you from getting anything done.

One of my favorite quotes from Ayn Rand (can’t remember if it was the Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged)…
“Good enough is neither.”
