Oh the waste of unnecessary work

Oh, the waste of unnecessary work! We can be head down, diligently working away on a project or task and yet not know when it’s time to be done with it, to test it or share it or press 'go', launch or go live.
That's because it takes hindsight for us to make sense of things.
It could be that some of what we have done may have been a waste. Some of our time and effort may have been wasted. When we are deep in it we are too close and connected, too attached to it. We can be attached to the expectations we have or the standards we think we need to reach or the end results we think we are reaching for.
So how do we get hindsight sooner? How do you get yourself in a position where you can look back on what you’ve done ... sooner?
Put it out there, pilot, test and trial it. Even if it's not done yet. Then you’ll get feedback and insights and you’ll make sense of that. That’s hindsight.
Most people can press 'go' sooner on a project or task or piece of work. Sooner than they think. Are you holding back from pressing 'go'?
>> Where could you ‘go live’ with something today so the power of valuable hindsight arrives sooner?
