This message will be a tough one for perfectionists and overachievers to hear, but they’re who need it most.
“Satisficing,” is a term coined by researchers in 2002 who studied the effects of choice on people who felt they needed to maximize every available option, rather than settle for happiness.

“To satisfice is to pursue not the best option, but a good enough option,” the researchers wrote.
