I just read a really good article on Yahoo Finance. If you tend to err on the side of perfection from time to time, you could be wasting a lot of time. There is a big difference between good and great, a smaller difference between great and excellent, but, a much smaller difference between excellent and perfect. When it comes to making you work time worth your while, often times the extra work involved in order to achieve “perfection” is not worth the small increase in money (if any) that you will make.

I think most webmasters and/or designers can relate to perfectionism on at least one level. We like our work to look and function as good as possible, but often times it’s easy to get caught up in a single project when we could be moving onto the next. The Yahoo article mentioned above has some really good tips and pointers to where you should draw your lines, how close to perfect is still ok, and of course some reasons why it’s better to spend less time as opposed to extra time on any given project. It’s definitely worth a read over.
