The Magic of Imperfection: The ¾ Baked Secret to Unlocking Innovation and Getting More Done

The world is full of creative people. So why do some get their ideas out in the world while others don't? Why are some incredibly prolific while others struggle with deadlines or can't complete projects? In this book, Jason F. McLennan—a master in "getting stuff done"—shares secrets to boosting productivity, innovation, and personal success.

McLennan's recipe for creative success includes the following ideas:

• Look forward to failure • Discover the power of feedback • Learn to become a "trim tab" • Harness the power of momentum to drive creativity

We've all heard the phrase "the perfect is the enemy of the good." Perfection is often what holds so many people back. Trying to reach it means that nothing much can get completed, and inspiration itself is often blocked as people either procrastinate or endlessly self-edit. By chasing perfection, it remains elusively further away.

The world is full of half-baked ideas—but almost no perfect ones. With The Magic of Imperfection, listeners will learn how to seriously amp up what they do, how fast they do it, and simultaneously how well it gets done.
