    Perfect is the enemy of good is an aphorism which means insistence on perfection often prevents implementation of good improvements.

    Today I wrote an offer (1st time for that kind) for our customer and took about 30 minutes with all infos already know.
    I cross checked the whole offer 3 times to be perfectly identical and all is fine.
    God I hate myself for that. Meanwhile my (by time) junior colleague creates offers like it’s nothing and my (by time) senior creates >10k offers.
    I feel rrally inferior at times due to that.

      Same, when I write even the simple things I check them multiple times to only still send something that has errors in it…

        I highly recommend using the text to speech where possible to proofread, it’s the only thing that saves me!
