💡 CheatCode #28: The 80% Rule
Done is better than perfect.
“Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.” — Voltaire
Perfectionism is a slow killer of momentum. Delivering at 80% now beats delivering at 100% never. The market, your boss, and your goals all benefit more from consistent output than from delayed “perfect” work.
Related Study:
Research from Stanford shows that people who launch and iterate quickly outperform perfectionists in long-term success rates.
Why it Works:
✅ Moves you from idea to action faster
✅ Creates room for feedback and improvement
✅ Trains you to ship consistently
Today’s Challenge:
Finish a task today when it hits 80% — release it, send it, ship it.
Final Thought:
Perfection is a moving target — you can’t hit it if you don’t fire.
“Get it out, get it better, keep going.”
