There are 24 hours in a day.
To some that might seem like a lot or ‘enough’ when in reality it goes by so quickly to people who have a lot of things they want to get done.
People procrastinate or decide they want to be perfectionists on the things they’re doing. Don’t get me wrong; putting your best foot forward and doing your best is one thing but not stopping until something is absolutely perfect hinders your productivity by a large margin.
Don’t cut corners or leave something unfinished but if something works spend the time to tweak it so it works slightly better. A good example of being a ‘perfectionist’ that is bad would be you spend your work day building a block of code. Let’s say 200 lines of code which isn’t too much but for the example it will keep it simple. You then spend the next day revising those 200 lines of code at work so they are easier to read and function better and maybe you even cut down from 200 to 160 lines in all your work. That’s good but my point is you’ve spent two days on something that should take you one. Maybe instead focus on creating 160 lines of code instead of 200 from the get go and be more productive than taking extra time. If you didn’t follow the example or didn’t relate to it, don’t worry. It’s not a big deal.
