Finishing Touches And Perfection

Polishing A Car

There’s a difference between work that is putting the finishing touch on something and work to perfect it.

Certainly, the line is moving and tricky to place, but once you find it, you can relieve yourself from the duty to perfect the work (because it won’t actually ever be perfect).

Letting go of perfection, however, is not an excuse to leave the polish off the work. The finishing touch not only matters to those the work is for, but it matters for your own fulfillment.

It simply feels good to ship something you know has the finishing touch on it.

After all, the touch shows others simply how much you care, whereas perfectionism delays you from shipping the product–and if you can so easily delay, is it really so important for others to have it?

Stay Positive & Ship It (But With A Coat Of Polish)
