@paulo: Nice quote. It pretty much sums up why perfectionism sucks. You can do one thing perfectly, or a dozen things well, in the same amount of time.

@mikael, @itdaniher, @tedel, @eshez: Cheers! I`m glad you guys like it.

@mark: lol, I'm 70% sure I want to reply :p. By the way, you don't need to check back often, I post exactly once a week, every saturday.

Hi Vlad.
Great post there.
Heard you up to great things, I'll be happy to hear some from you.

I've read a great article some time ago about decision making(I'm horrible at making decisions).
anyway, I can't find it right now but I'll be sure to give a link if I do.

Keep up the great job!

Hi Vlad,
nice posting.

If you haven’t done already read Gary Klein’s “Sources of power – How people make decisions”. It will forever cure anybody from the idea of being able to wait too long before making a deciscion and taking action.

Thanks. Once i someone told me that the best is enemy of the optimum, so i guess if 70% is the best we can expect for the moment we should go for it. It’s like buying a computer, one can’t ever get the latest new model, or you just don’t ever buy any.
