To make progress, you need to put incremental progression over perfection. The perfectionist gets stuck in endless refinement, never actually shipping their work. The incremental progressionist, ships their work and learns from the results.
If you want your efforts to be meaningful, you must put your work out there. That’s how you gain real, truthful insights. Because you’re your own worst critic, constant tweaking often leads to skewed conclusions rather than genuine truth that in turns allows you to make better things.
Being perfectionist in something new you create leads to pressure that is not useful. It's standing in front of an impossible-to-manage mountain of work, considerations, and thoughts. This leads to an inability to start. The better approach is to start small and simple. Complexity is the enemy of execution. And if you define your measure of success as the incremental progress you make, the incremental small improvements, you will get much farther much quicker.
