Tip 7—Discerning Priorities



Distinguish when "good enough" is better than "perfection” to maximize your available resources and time as much as possible . . .


Suspend making small decisions when the conditions that influence these decisions continue to change. Use the '80/20 rule' to solve the top 20% of the biggest issues you have and you will end up fixing up to 80% of all your issues. The small decisions that you suspend will often resolve themselves and be much easier to make with additional information from your surroundings or as a result of resolving your more important, 'bigger' issues. In many cases, when you untangle the biggest knot in a pile of rope, the rest of the knots end up being much easier to untangle.
