"You’re selling your time and energy for pay that you often feel is not enough. Don’t waste it. Forget coming up with the most sophisticated or innovative solution. For many jobs, and often in business, if something works it’s good enough. ‘Good enough’ is often more than good enough."
I love this piece of advice and it feels very practical and applicable for me. I've always tried to go above and beyond to try and impress for rewards that never matched the effort. I guess a part of it is my ego of just wanting to look smart infront of people I want to impress.
I do have to caveat that we should always strive for excellence, and do our best *when and where we can*, excellence begets excellence. but we just gotta face up to the constraints we have irl, if we're pressed for time and resources, we just have to churn out results.
