Projects expand because there is no agreed point at which improvement should end.

Without a stop rule, every review can uncover another possible improvement. Decide
in advance what standard the work must meet and what evidence would justify delaying
it, so preference alone cannot keep moving the finish line.

**Try this today:** Define the condition that will make you stop editing and publish
or deliver.

**Keep in mind:** A stop rule protects useful work from endless refinement.

**Pin if found useful**
