Show Notes

Are you a perfectionist?

Do you identify as someone who regularly spends too much time on various projects or endeavours for the quality of output required?


Yeah - you're not alone.

This week we discuss the Law of Diminishing Returns and explore how prevalent it is across all our lives: professionally, academically, socially - it's everywhere.


We try to identify various ways to know when enough is enough. But it's not always easy.


You can find the headline sketch here.

Other sketches referenced in this episode include:


Additionally, we reference the inspiration for Jono's sketch itself from this absolute favourite sketch of mine about Too Many Cooks Spoil The Broth from the masterful comedy team Big Train.

Go on. Lose yourself for 10 minutes!


We'd love to know your thoughts or experiences with The Law of Diminishing Returns.
