Love this so much, Stacey! Striving for perfection through practice is great, but only up to a certain point. Ultimately one has to dive in and just do it :) My big mantra while writing my doctoral dissertation was 'good enough' is good enough. Needed this reminder again for this phase of my life. Thank you for sharing your reflections. Also BTW, have you seen Frances Ha? Greta Gerwig starred in it and it was directed by Noam Baumbach. This was before she directed Lady Bird. I had really enjoyed watching Frances Ha.

I love ‘good enough is good enough.’ It reminds me of a phrase I think about often- ‘done is better than perfect.’ And I apparently need to clear my calendar and watch Frances Ha immediately- so many people have recommended it to me in response to this post!

I love this post, Stacey! I, too, need to learn and practice less and do more. Thanks for the inspiration!

I heard her say that and ran for my notebook- so simple but so true and something I really needed to hear!
