Can we talk about hearing a podcast say 'done is better than perfect'

I mean, I was listening to a woodworking show and the host said he has a box of half-finished bowls because he kept sanding them forever. It made me look at my own half-built guitar pedalboard sitting in a bin. Has anyone else heard something that actually got you to pick a project back up?

That woodworking host needs to meet my collection of three half-knit scarves. They're basically just fancy yarn balls now. I heard a similar line on a home repair podcast last month. The guy said a crooked shelf you can use beats a perfect one you never build. Stared at my wobbly bookcase for a solid ten minutes. Finally just screwed the thing to the wall. It's still crooked, but my books aren't on the floor.

Disagree completely, a wobbly shelf is just future kindling waiting to happen.
