In order to get more out of life, in order to be less distracted more focused and productive, perhaps being anti-optimal is a good idea.
This is called “satisficingâ€â€” A combination of the word satisfy and suffice. Also known in the same realm is the notion of heuristics, seeking a productive and good enough solution, rather than the “bestâ€.

When it comes to our clothing, tools and equipment, strive to satisfice. But when it comes to our creation, innovation, never seek to satisfy.
