When it comes to apps, I think the perfection model is a byproduct since a lot of apps will focus more along the lines of what social media is all about. The idea with apps is that they will give you notifications for you to keep coming back to the apps. Even in the cases of productivity, the pinging notifications are there to remind you to check.
Perfection comes after a while where we develop a habit to check. And when it comes to productivity or genuinely helpful apps, we start to ensure we stay on top of it and if we're behind we try to catch up and achieve whichever results the app was designed for.
For example, I have an app that tracks my water intake. I've stopped using it after a while as I noticed the consistent notifications prompts me to go to the app and add water to it even if I didn't drink water. I was more trying to appease the app rather than myself. Why? Because the app also had a streak count and I wanted to see that number go up.
As for Tony Robbins, considering how long he's been in the industry and how many people he's engaged with through his content, there is bound to be results for sure. He wouldn't be relevant if every piece of advice he offered was absolute bogus nonsense. It's more like over time, there are extra layers being added which add to the challenges and they're not addressed.
Also free seminars and access to videos and articles is helpful, but they're more generalized. They can start things for sure (as I got into the industry initially from generic and broad webinars), but it demands people to explore more which not everyone wants to do.
Either way, these are some interesting points made, Eric. You are right it's difficult to raise and maintain those standards. My issue is more that I think some of the particular struggles of maintaining certain standards aren't as robust as they could be.
