If you spend three hours editing an annual report to get it 90 percent perfect, and then spend another two hours to get it 93 percent perfect, and another hour for 95 percent perfect, the incremental improvement is negligible. Think of the time and effort you can conserve and redistribute to other tasks. Instead of suggesting that you give up your perfectionism, in The Perfectionist’s Handbook, Jeff Szymanski tells readers: you have the right idea, but you’re taking the wrong paths to achieve the outcome you want. — someone who stands out and gets bigger payoffs— including greater productivity with less effort, and having more energy and balance in your work and life.
