How to avoid over-polishing your content

I often have difficulty releasing my code. I want to fine-tune it until it’s perfect, although, as programmers know, that’s nearly impossible given the pressing deadlines and priority shifts that dictate our days.

I know that PR and communications professionals can relate. So how do we know when to stop making tweaks and start wrapping things up?

Here are a few things I’ve learned from writing and editing code at AirPR that may help you decide when to move on to your next project.
