Counterintuitively, "good enough" often produces better real-world outcomes:
Decision Velocity Advantage - Faster decisions mean more iterations - More iterations mean faster learning - Faster learning means better long-term results
While the perfectionist researches, the satisficer has already tried, learned, and improved.
The Compound Effect - Save 10 minutes per decision - Make 50 decisions daily - Save 500 minutes = 8.3 hours - Weekly: 58 hours saved - Yearly: 3,000+ hours reclaimed
That's 75 work weeks of time, freed by choosing "good enough."
Relationship Benefits People prefer decisive companions: - "Where should we eat?" "How about that place?" - "What movie?" "This one looks fun." - "Which activity?" "Let's try this."
Decisiveness is attractive. Analysis paralysis is exhausting.
