“…all the way down to how I’d organize the site’s content on my hard drive.” Boy, can I relate! I’m a lifelong perfectionist (well, a Maximizer, according to Schwartz’s definition), and I recently started blogging about trying to overcome the tendency. A friend forwarded a link to this post of yours.

You make some very good points here…in particular, I love the Voltaire quote in #5, which I try to remind myself of often these days.

Great stuff, Mike–your older posts, too, based on a brief skim of them. I like the clarity of your thinking and writing. I’ve subscribed to your feed and I look forward to more good reading!
