From [Replacing Guilt, "Half-assing it with everything you've got"](https://mindingourway.com/half-assing-it-with-everything-youve-got/):

> The slacker in you rebels against pointless tasks, and the tryer in you wants perfection. So satisfy both: aim for the minimum necessary target, and move there as efficiently as possible.

This post in the [Replacing Guilt](https://ollybritton.com/notes/books/replacing-guilt/) series is about the difference between the "quality line" and the "preference curve".
