Imperfect Action > Perfect Timing

Just start!

If you’ve been waiting for the "right time" to start something, let me gently call you in:

You might be using "perfect" as a stall tactic.

One of my clients was in full-on planning mode. She wanted a better schedule, more white space, stronger boundaries. We mapped it out.

A week later, she came back giddy: she had actually started.

She:

• Removed herself from meetings she didn’t need to be in

• Delegated low-value work

• Started saying no without the guilt

Was it perfect? No. Was it progress? Absolutely.

The best part? Her imperfect action created space. And that space gave her the energy and clarity to do more.

Perfection Is a Lie

We've been conditioned to believe that if it’s worth doing, it should be done flawlessly. But let’s be honest:

• You can’t anticipate everything.

• You won’t be ready for everything.

• You can adjust as you go.

Enter: The 70% Rule

(sure, sure, it's supposed to be 80/20, I get it, so pick any number as long as its better than 50% and less than 90%)

If you’re 70% confident in a plan, that’s enough to begin. Below that? Get more data. Above that? You might be stalling.

This rule works because:

• It values momentum over perfection

• It embraces learning in real time

• It helps you build trust with yourself

  
  

What’s One Area You’re Waiting to Be Perfect In?

That difficult conversation? That new boundary? That process you want to redesign?

Start messy. Start small. Start anyway.

Because the truth is: perfect never arrives. But momentum can.

This is how the integrated week and integrated year come to life — not from perfect plans, but from courageous starts.
