Probably to consider a larger set of problems including the one you are trying to perfect, and solving that overall problem as best as possible. Your pursuit of perfectionism would result in a different approach taken because the flaws present themselves differently

Additionally, thinking about what else could be made improved or closer to perfect instead of what you are trying to do perfectly. What else could be improved? Is that more valuable? What would deteriorate in your pursuit of making something perfect?

It's hard, if not impossible, but at least worth considering.
