Quantity over Quality

Most of you must have come across this famous phrase "Quality over Quantity" emphasizing the quality of the work, product, service, etc. rather than the quantity. In this Article, I want to stress the reverse phrase, "Quantity over Quality". It's always easy to demonstrate some ideas or concepts through examples. Let me take an example of developing any hobby such as writing.

When someone is building a habit, it requires Consistency. If one is sincerely putting effort into any of his hobbies, he need not worry about the outcome. I am participating in the #BlogChatterA2Z Challenge where I commit to posting 26 articles in different letters for the month of April. There have been several drafts lying on my laptop; unpublished, waiting to be made perfect. To complete this challenge, I have to be consistent rather than a perfectionist. There's no point in aiming to produce quality content when I am not able to produce even a single article in the cobweb of being perfect.

Perfection is often a myth as so aptly put in this quote: “I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business.”― Michael J. Fox. While chasing perfection or aiming for quality output, one must not stop trying once more. One of the famous mathematical notations representing consistency clearly is the following. It shows that putting in even 1% of effort in anything every day for a year yields growth of 37.8% whereas if someone stops putting 1% of effort in anything he does, every day in a year provides him the result of only 3%. So, consistency is the key to excellence.
