"A good plan executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week." - George S. Patton

Patton is trying to say that there is a point of diminishing returns on any large effort where the benefit of completing all pieces is more costly and time consuming than getting something done now.

As we command our own battles at work, we see those times when the deadline is looming and some co-workers are "hard at work" burning the remaining allotted hours on very slight modifications. Those type of changes that only they would notice while other people are waiting on the perfectionists to finish as they bottleneck the whole process and get bogged down.

Was the project done well? It depends on who you ask as people measure their work differently as they complete it to their satisfaction if left on their own.

One way to alleviate this process is by using PlanDone's priority ranking tool which breaks up all of the little pieces of tasks and orders them into a list to ensure every piece gets done on time. Every day, the dashboard directs each user to begin on steps that require focus first so that everyone's plans can get done on time every time.
