Do you sometimes feel that your work only counts if it’s flawless? That 70 per cent isn’t enough and only ‘perfect’ is acceptable?

This mindset is very common – particularly amongst ambitious, responsible people. Yet it is precisely this perfectionism that often drains your energy rather than actually helping you make progress.

The reality is: 70 % is absolutely sufficient in most cases. Because:

  • 100 % is rarely achievable,
  • the effort required for the final 30 per cent is often out of all proportion to the result,
  • and perfection often leads directly to stress and exhaustion.

Less perfection – more efficiency in everyday life

Whether it’s project management, dealing with customers or planning your team’s workload: those who prioritise efficiency rather than getting bogged down in details make real progress – and keep a clear overview.

That is precisely why we at SaaS.de have developed our solutions:

We haven’t just thought things through for you – we use our tools ourselves every day. And we know that when systems run smoothly, there’s more time for what really matters. Our suggestion for you

Give it a go: today, deliberately complete a task to just 70 per cent. Leave it at that – and see how it feels. Perhaps you’ll suddenly realise:

  • less pressure,
  • more freedom,
  • and more focus on what really matters.
Perfectionism can be both a driving force and a hindrance. The key lies in striking a healthy balance and learning that ‘good enough’ is actually quite sufficient.
