Neurodivergent Fedifriends, I have a question for you.

What is this elusive 80% that NTs are talking about when they explain to me that I shouldn't aim for perfection.

Apparently, when they have a job to do, they measure (?) what would be perfect, then they measure 80% of it and they stop working there? 🤯

Do you know how one does that? NTs explanations are not helpful so I thought I would ask my #ADHD #AuDHD and #ActuallyAutistic peeps for guidance.

Can you do that trick of magic and if so, could you please explain to me how?

Let's say have a translation to do. What's an non-burnout inducing 80% of a perfect translation?

Retoots welcome!

@DoryTheFish ok, this is just my estimation, as an AuDHD personage... I think it's just enough to know you did the task, to almost completion, but the things you didn't do are the things, an nt wouldn't notice. For example, say you did your laundry. The entire autistic version would be, not only did you fold your pants, hang your shirts, but you also bothered matching each and every pair of socks, threw out the mismatches, and folded yoru undergarments. The 80/85 percent version is... at least my shirts and pants are properly put away. Nobody cares about socks and D's.
