I could have easily released twice as many songs during my music career if I had not obsessed over the details…. Honestly, the details matter to a certain point, but going from 0% complete to 95% is fairly simple, its that 95% to 100% that becomes exponentially harder to get…. and oftentimes, squeezing out 99% to 100% (the last percentage) is not even worth the time in the end because the detail you obsessed over literally nobody on earth would ever notice. I think at the end of the day this trait depends on what industry you are in…. if you are selling luxury items, etc where time to market is of no consequence, then you can obsess 10/10 over the details… but if you are trying to move volume, this obsession can actually hurt you in the end. Time is a HUGE factor that plays into this equation and therefore, this is an almost impossible self assessment to do without proper context.

obsess over details

6 - This should be a 10 because I do obsess, but the reality is that obsessing too much can be a bad thing if it takes too long and you miss a window of time
