Approximate First, Refine Later

H howtolive.guide ·

A rough estimate in five minutes is often more useful than a precise one in five days. Start with the back-of-napkin version — it'll tell you whether the direction is worth pursuing at all. If the rough numbers don't work, the precise ones won't save you. Perfectionism in early stages is a form of procrastination disguised as thoroughness. Get the shape right first, then fill in the details.

The point
A quick rough estimate often reveals more than a slow precise one.
