Funny how instruction manuals and part lists and how-tos can have the wrong language in them or be missing a piece or some step isn’t quite aligned with what’s in front of you as you’re trying to complete it.
When this happens, you’re left with two options.
Invest a lot of time to figure it out (and any time there is a time investment, you’re undoubtedly getting frustrated or enraged, too). You might discover there was a missing piece or find the missing step in some thread in the deep web. Key word, though, is might.
The second option is to evaluate if it’s truly needed to still get the result you want. If you think about it, the language is wrong, the piece is missing or the step is misaligned because it’s not critical in the first place – it was the last prioritized element of someone’s role.
Rather than investing time to figure it out, it’s worth investing time to evaluate if you can keep going with the task anyway, first. Perhaps this entails simply leaving that void a void or it’s quick thinking on how to fill the gap with an alternative.
More often, shipping the work, completing the task, moving forward is more important than getting it absolutely perfect (especially when it doesn’t need to be).
Stay Positive & Time Is Of The Essence
