Done vs Ready

Sometimes ‘Done’ isn over-done.

‘Done’ means we’re totally happy, we’ve manicured every nook and cranny.

But ‘ready’?

‘Ready’ means we may not be totally happy, because that would take weeks when we only have days.

‘Ready’ means we brought our skills to the work both in production and in planning.

It may not be the very best loaf of bread we ever baked, it may not be ‘done’ in that sense, but it can still be ‘ready’ for us to all enjoy.

Allow yourself ‘Done’ if ‘Done’ will ship on time.

Otherwise, learn the power of ‘Ready’.
