MODERATORS
There's usually more than 1 way to do something.
Sometimes people get caught up on wanting to do it the best way, and then they just dont do it at all.
If there's an easier, less ideal, maybe slightly more wasteful way to do something, and its the difference between doing it or not, just do it that way and dont get hung up on perfection if the alternative is not getting it done.
If its something that needs to be built into a habit, it might be enough to get you started, and then maybe you can move on to the better way in the future.
Edit: just to clarify, often times the outcome is the same but people get caught up on the how vs just getting it done. Don't get caught up on the best how if there's another way that'll also work that you will find easier to do.
