I was blindsided by a deadline that I forgot to add alerts to my calendar for school today and in the middle of trying to make it perfect adopted the Jeff Winger from Community mantra of “Doable, and passable” and kept repeating it to myself for the three hours it took to finish.

Does anyone else have a motto for when they’re trying to get back on track?

Don't let perfection get in the way of good enough. The best paper is the done paper.

"Doable and passable" is a very good one to keep in mind for sure.

Also one saying I keep in mind when doing new things is, "Failure is a key part of the process, no body starts out as a master of a thing. The difference between a master and an amateur is that a master has failed more times than an amateur has tried. So try new things, fail faster, and learn from those failures."

Of course another problem I usually struggle with is starting something due to being afraid of messing up due to starting in the wrong way, but I always try to tell myself, "Just start, fail, and remember it for next time."
