Exploring the 80% Rule and Action over Perfectionism
The concept of the 80% rule emphasizes prioritizing taking action and making a meaningful contribution over striving for perfection. It encourages focusing on achieving most of the goals rather than getting bogged down by perfectionism. This principle is demonstrated through initiatives like the period project where the focus is on ensuring widespread participation and impact rather than achieving perfection in every aspect. It advocates for setting intentions that aim for doing tasks well to an extent, such as completing 80% of the poses in yoga class rather than aiming for perfection. The emphasis is on completing tasks effectively and making impactful contributions while not getting overwhelmed by the need for perfection in every detail.
