My "good enough is just fine" is housework. Yes, I should probably vacuum the whole house, but today it is good enough to just sweep the kitchen & dining room. Or, yes, I should probably dust, but you cannot yet write your name in it, so I have other more important things to do outside, like gardening. :-) Your question that posed is very helpful! Am I doing an A+ job for a C- task? Love it!

I had a supervisor once who said something similar to this.... "90% done is almost always done enough." I can still remember when and why it was said, and the statement still rings true for me decades later.
