When I was younger, and more idealistic, I think i wanted to be 100% at everything. As I get older, I’ve come to realize that I don’t have the time or the energy to do everything, let alone at 100%.
The day you get old enough to be ok with saying 80% is good enough is a very liberating day. Thanks for the post, and the book recommendation. Patagonia is one of my favorites.

I too love Patagonia gear and this is a book I had on my “to read” list for a long time. When I finally got to reading it … it turns out to be one of the best books I’ve ever read.
It was an inspirational read to say the least (loved learning about the history of the company) and clearly shows that business – on any scale – can be financially successful and have a huge heart at the same time.
Bravo to Yvon for blazing a very cool trail and to you Dan for shining more light on this excellent book.
Cheers.

You make a great point Dan. The last 20% of anything is minor detail that will deliver little to no return on the amount of time that was invested.

It’s a great book from a great company founder. Everything they stand for is a perfect fit, and sure works for their marketing as well. Even though he is an 80%’er I think he has made the company push beyond, to be an obsessive.

If thus put, I think I would be somewhere in the 80%-ers as well:) …although, to be frank, sometimes I am much closer to 100% (when fighting with IE, for example, when all of my creative power is needed) ;-)
