Donning my favourite Captain Obvious uniform, I bring to your attention this fact:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Something isn't finished until it is.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Erm, finished, that is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still unclear, try this one one for size:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Things aren't 100%, 99% of the time&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why all this semantic playfulness? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recognising this fact makes dealing with all of that uncertainty and incompleteness &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;that&lt;/span&gt; much easier. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some task taking you longer than expected?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's OK, most things are unresolved most of the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I'm talking to my kids about the same thing, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;again?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's OK, people - especially children - take time to learn things.  Repetition is key.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I'm &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;still &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;battling with this same issue after all these years?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's pretty normal, just keep battling through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acknowledging, embracing and expecting imperfection, inefficiency and frustration somehow makes it all a little less frustrating.
