When our business partners were building up digital codes for a business, one partner would say: ''That's good enough''. It was his expression/line to say that the program works as is and if they continued the coding, it might just mess it up. In life situation - that's good enough ... don't mess with it. It has been a very good saying.
Loved this! As a recovering perfectionist/wanting to make people like me… I agree with this sentiment as doing enough has bought me more peace of mind and contentment. My therapist asked a while back “When do you know you’ve done enough?” I had never stopped to consider this question.

Excellent content. I like the coined word ‘satisficing’. It helps us to relax in many situations and not put undue pressure on ourselves.
100 percent - Thank you, Lois.

Thanks for the wonderful examples and reflection.
Thank you, Rowena. Great question - “When do you know you’ve done enough?” - we all have to answer this for ourselves on an ongoing basis.
So true. What a great approach!
Thank you, Christin.
