All of my calls are on Mondays.
Before, meetings were scattered throughout the week.
Team check-ins and Trends.vc Masterminds on Monday, a HeadsUp.bot demo on Tuesday, a team workshop on Thursday, a product feedback call on Friday.
The unpredictability led to context switching and general overhead.
Now, I batch calls.
- Is it perfect? No. Mondays are exhausting.
- Is it better? Yes.
It front-loads Manager Mode and preserves Tuesday through Sunday for Maker Mode.
The philosophy, not perfect but better, also applies to product development.
Last week, HeadsUp.bot users reported hitting usage limits.
The perfect solution would have been to update pricing and upgrade them. But that would have taken time.
The better solution? I just raised the limits for everyone.
It was simple and it solved the problem fast. Letting me get back to the real bottleneck of HeadsUp.
Is that the long-term fix? No. But these limits were not the bottleneck.
Perfect is a myth.
It’s unachievable. And chasing it keeps you from improving your position.
- The perfect schedule does not exist.
- The perfect product does not exist.
You just need to improve from your previous state. And these improvements compound.

What are you delaying because you’re waiting for “perfect” instead of making it better?
