Jason Fried of 37signals: "Don't get hung up on the details!"

We often hear about how important attention to detail is in any business. It's hard to argue with this, but does constant attention to detail really benefit the cause and the task as a whole?

Jason Fried, co-founder of 37signals, suggests rethinking the need for attention to detail depending on the stage of the project.

Beauty, completeness and precision are not the only things that can be achieved by paying attention to detail. Other constant companions of this obsession are stagnation, disagreements and delays. All this can simply kill the whole mood and deprive you of the chances of success.

How often have you found yourself hovering over some microscopic piece of code or design that you've spent almost a day on. How often do you realize that the work done during the day has not really advanced the project to the point of completion? This happens in cases when you switch to details too early. You will still have time to realize the perfectionist living inside you, and you do not need to go headlong into details at an early stage.

It's not worth thinking about the font size in the title all day. There is no need to spend hours selecting the perfect shade of green for the created layout. There is no need to measure the location of the button on the prototype of the site "to the millimeter". Just arrange all the elements on the page. Test them. Make sure everything works. After that, you can play the perfectionist.

In the process of working on the project, you will understand for yourself which things require more attention. You will understand that something is missing. In the process of creation and subsequent testing, you will find things that need improvement yourself. And then it will be time to lick these elements, not before.
