以80/20法則克服完美主義

完美主義者只有一條路，沒有偏離，沒有進步，沒有自發性。這些時常讓我們變得不那麼幸運，歷史上那些最成功最有創造力的科學家和藝術家都是那些失敗最多的。他們都不是完美主義者，他們都追求卓越，非常有雄心，都明白成功沒有別的方法。

  有一位非常有創造力的作家說：完美主義是創造力的敵人；另外有一位作家對於如何克服這種完美主義，有非常好的建議，是80/20規則，了解這條規則並將其應用在時間管理上，改變了我在學校的學習經歷。

  那麼這法則是甚麼呢？這法則表示在大多數社會中，百分之二十的人擁有百分之八十的財富，他們也將這法則用於商業組織，那就是妳百分之二十的客戶，給你帶來百分之八十的收入。這也被應用於經濟學的許多領域，而到最近被用於時間管理方面，比如說在我們百分之二十的時間裡，我們可以完成百分之八十的工作。當明白這一點的時候，他改變了我的工作態度。為什麼？因為我意識到我不可能百分之百做到完美，我開始遵循更多的愉悅原則或快樂原則。好的這才是我感興趣的東西，因為我應用這條20/80法則，將百分之二十的注意力放在重要的東西上，然後把百分之八十的工作做好。

 

How To Overcome Perfectionism - The 80/20 Rule

 

  Perfectionist- one way; no deviation, no improvisation, no spontaneity. This very often prevents us from being” luckier”. The most successful the most creative scientist and artist throughout the history are ones that fail the most. They were not perfectionists. They were committed to excellence- extremely ambitious, understanding that there’s no other way to succeed.

    There is a highly creative author says: Perfectionism is the enemy of creativity. And another author who has very good advice for us of how to overcome this perfectionism. The 80/20 rule. This rule- understanding this rule as it applies to time management changed my school experience.

  So what is the principle? And the principle says that in most societies, 20 percent of the people own about 80 percent of the wealth. They applied this principle to organizations as well, where 20 percent of your clients generate 80 percent of your income. And this has been applied to many areas in economics. And more recently, to time management. For example, in 20 percent of our time, we can get 80 percent our work down. And when I understand this, it changed my approach toward my work attitude. Why? Because I realized that well I didn’t to complete perfect 100 percent of the work. And I started to follow much more the pleasure principle or the happiness principle. And I say: Ok, this is something that I really cared about. Because I was employing that 20/80 rule. 20 percent of focus on what’s important and got the80 percent of the work down.
