Taking the "good enough" approach in life has probably left a lot of potential on the table, but it really has gotten the maximal utility out of any work I put in. It's probably ~50%-100% more work to go from a B+ in life to a straight A.

The opportunity costs can be profound as well. Doing B rather than A level work on many tasks can allow you to get 2-3x more things done.
