Best effort verses perfectionism: maybe a podcast on this???

I’d love to here a podcast on this. And also of course any thoughts from the forum.

Can you elaborate on Miss Mason’s ideas of best effort? I grew up with the phrase “anything worth doing is worth doing well”.  Although I do understand not giving a lazy, lackluster attitude to a task, this became a very large hurdle to overcome in my life. It led to paralysis in many tasks, as well as poor balance and time management between tasks. Embracing  the phrases: “better than nothing”, “good enough for the time we have”, and “just start the process” has brought my children and I so much more growth than focusing on what our best job could look like.

How do I instill the value of best effort, without giving my children the same debilitating result I had to grow out of in my own life? Perhaps I need to understand better what Miss Mason means? Many of her method focus more on the process rather than focusing on the end goal; this has created more joy in out homeschool than trying to prepare and execute  daunting projects. What am I missing?
