The 70% Principle

When you are going to create something new. Consider the 70% principle. It it often more important to get the project completed to the point that is functional. Then come back to fine tune it later.

To created the 100% perfect creation the 1st time involves:

• a lot of extra time
• a lot of extra stress

It is not that you do not care about the finish product. Rather you know that you can come back to it later and do another 20%. And even later to do another 20%.

This means that it is 'a work in progress'. That is being improve on a on-going bases. The result is it will include features /content the could not have been thought of at the beginning.

It is also a good exercise in humility. :-)
