More Dalio. Man, this small book is so dense with good stuff. Bold added by me -
199a) Don’t be a perfectionist, because perfectionists often spend too much time on little differences at the margins at the expense of other big, important things. Be an effective imperfectionist. Solutions that broadly work well (e.g., how people should contact each other in the event of crises) are generally better than highly specialized solutions (e.g., how each person should contact each other in the event of every conceivable crisis), especially in the early stages of a plan. There generally isn't much gained by lots of detail relative to a good broad solution. Complicated procedures are tough to remember, and it takes a lot of time to make such detailed plans (so they might not even be ready when needed).
He adds,
199c) Watch out for “detail anxiety,” i.e., worrying inappropriately about unimportant, small things.
Very useful term - "detail anxiety." Useful to think about - and strive to avoid.
