This idea seems like it could be very useful and we could apply it to anything from parts of a presentation to what one eats. What I most like about this article is I see it as a tool to help me deal with not working on, or giving up on projects due to perfectionistic standards and what I call goal inflation. The gymnastics example reminds me of the Clint Eastwood quote: "A man's got to know his limitations." Your article implys that 10s are not really possible - at least not as an average. - 30 years got you to a 9. This article nuges us toward seting standards for ourselves that we can attain, and even aspire to MAINTAIN, and that we can feel good about. My first draft of this email was a 5. I wanted it to be a 7. The gap was 2. I feel that this method inspired me. For me this email is an 8. John, Thank you for presenting a neat idea in a very clear way.
