99.9% Perfect
It’s probably good enough. Move along.

As creatives, we daily face the predicament of compromise. How good is good enough? I’ve come to a tentative conclusion: nothing is perfect, but you can get extremely close. The key is to stop refining, tinkering, and polishing once you get close enough that anything more is negligible. Does a 1% change in opacity on the icon’s shine really make a significant difference?
[Note: Be careful. As you develop your skills, your concept of perfection keeps evolving. And you can get just as stuck chasing degrees of perfection this way. In order to launch a product, you have to draw the line somewhere.]
