Apply the 4-50 Rule

I call it the 4-50 Rule. It's Pareto's rule squared.

4% of what you do creates over 50% of the results.

4% of the knowledge about any topic will give you over 50% of the benefit.

4% of any business causes over 50% of the mistakes, errors, waste, rework and lost profit.

So, you don't need to know everything to do anything. And you don't need to fix everything to get massive improvement, just the 4% that's most troublesome.

Stop majoring in minor things. Start minoring in major things. Use the 4-50 rule.
