When you strive for perfection, you often become too focused on the details and miss the bigger picture.

On the other hand, when you focus on progress, you are able to take risks, experiment, and learn from mistakes.

Progress not perfection is a mindset that allows you to focus on the journey, not the goal.

It promotes growth, creativity, and resilience, and can ultimately lead to greater success.

I myself am prone towards focusing on the perfect figures or paragraphs in my thesis.

This led to procrastination when I could have been finished with my thesis weeks ago.

Which is why I'm choosing to make incremental progress instead which has been working well for me.

So remember to try, fail, learn, and improve whatever you are currently working on.

In other words to make progress whatever that looks like for you and your projects.
