Good Enough. Move On.

I told him I had two criteria: be in Manhattan and find a good roommate.

‍

I found a great roommate online. Compatible values on lifestyle, cleanliness, schedule, etc. 

And the apartment was in Manhattan.

‍

Good enough. I moved on.

‍

I didn't research all 40 Manhattan neighborhoods. I didn't build a spreadsheet comparing average rent per square foot. I didn't ask ChatGPT to rank neighborhoods by "vibe alignment."

‍

This is the skill no one teaches you. Everyone talks about making better decisions. Nobody talks about making faster ones on things that don't warrant deliberation.

‍

I once heard Dan Martell explain that “everyone is on track to become a billionaire, but most people will die before ever getting there.” 

‍

Why? Because people learn too slowly and take too long to make decisions.

‍

Think about it. How many weeks have you burned deliberating something that, in hindsight, didn't matter? The perfect CRM. The perfect logo. The perfect homepage layout.

‍

Meanwhile, someone less talented than you just picked one and started learning from it.

‍

Action produces information. Deliberation produces anxiety.

‍

Now here's the trap with AI.

‍

AI can seduce you into complexity. You ask it to help you pick a project management tool and it hands you a 47-point comparison matrix with weighted scoring criteria. You ask it to write a cold email and it gives you 12 versions with A/B variants.

‍

You didn't need any of that. You needed to pick one and start.

‍

Here’s the good news. AI can also be the fastest "good enough" machine ever built. The trick is asking it to simplify instead of optimize.

‍

• "What are the only two things that actually matter here?"
• "What's the minimum viable version I can ship today?"
• "If I had to decide in 60 seconds, what would I pick?"

‍

These are better prompts than "give me a comprehensive analysis." Because they match how the best operators actually think. Not "what's optimal?" but "what's good enough to move?"

‍

Most people treat AI like a tool for making the perfect decision. It's not. It's a tool for making the good-enough decision faster - so you can get to the next one.

‍

Stop pretending that analysis is progress.

‍

Good enough. Move on. Good enough. Move on. Good enough. Move on.

‍

The choice is yours. Will AI actually accelerate your progress? Or will it amplify your analysis paralysis?

‍

Good enough. Move on.
