Earlier in the week, Jessica saw a post of Sheryl Sandberg's quote: "Done is better than perfect," and it got her thinking about how we risk getting stuck and even shutting down if we keep picking at a thing endlessly in search of the mystical PERFECT.

Perfect doesn't exist, y'all.

Just get the thing done.

With the extra space that you have created by not tweaking and re-tweaking and tweaking some more., you can unpack and compost your internalization of how society and family have made you question your value and worth. 

And that is work worth spending some time on.

In this episode, Jessica shares a personal situation from this week where she found the application of Sandberg's quote to be tremendously helpful, in addition to the story of a client who was finally able to finish her dissertation and get her Ph.D. when she quit searching for perfect.
