I think there is theory and then there is reality. It's why we all acknowledge that Bob #3 may be the result, even if Bob #4 is the goal. I've spent most of my life being Bob #3. I acknowledge that I would be further ahead if I was Bob #4, but we all have our struggles!I struggle with this sometimes on things that don't seem to matter. Do I really need to get it perfect?
For example, I'm cutting a tile for a floor and the edge is off by 1". However, this tile is in the back of the laundry room and will be covered by the dryer. Do I use a whole new tile and recut it?
In real life we have competing interests and values that demand our time.
In real life , we also all have different goals. If you don't care about a space in the back of the laundry room, then why should you care to fix it? We can do anything, but not everything.
While doing our best is a good lesson, the most important lesson is locus of control. Bob's #1 and #2 blame everyone else for their problems. Bob #3 takes responsibility and isn't doing less work out of spite. He's doing less because of juggling multiple values
