Bob Sproull writes about the difference between being an optimizer and satisficer, terms that were originally defined by Herbert Simon, an american researcher.
An optimizer is a person that looks for the "perfect solution" and often suffers from "paralysis by analysis". In contrast, a satisficer looks for a "good enough" solution and uses feedback to correct the course of action, similar to Boyd's OODA Loop.
What kind of approach do you take in everyday life?
