When we take up good practices, we need to fully understand why we need to follow
them. I was asked
recently ?If this practices is so good, why should I not simply follow it all the
time?? People want to learn
"Best Practices" so they can simply follow it. As many experts have said, there are
no Best Practices. There
are only better practices.
Good practices help us. However, we need to keep an eye when using them doesn?t provide
any benefit
or provides reduced benefits. We need to look out for that point of diminishing returns.
Depending on the practice you're following, the slope of the cuve on either side may
vary. For some
practices, you may reach the peak sooner than later. In any case, at some point, overdoing
a practice
may be as bad as not doing it at all.
