Progress Beats Perfection

Despite best efforts to follow the “perfect” diet, time management system, or morning routine, most of us fall off track.


I’ve learned is that it’s better to test and find a method, a practice, a system, or a plan that works for you personally. Most who chase something that’s “perfect” or flawless in theory but unsustainable in practice will not continue.


Even the inferior method you stick with beats the perfect one you quit.


“Progress, not perfection.”

— Robert McCall (The Equalizer)
