Wash, Rinse, Repeat
Shampoo manufacturers often include wash, rinse, repeat instructions on the product label. Most people agree that repeating isn't necessary, but it sells more shampoo. This idiom creates an endless loop if taken literally. If you keep repeating, you will eventually run out of shampoo. The reference to a shampoo algorithm is often referred to in beginning computer programming classes to warn of the dangers of an endless loop.

The phrase wash, rinse, repeat has come to represent never giving up. It is also a symbol of being enslaved to a task. Like most things, the phrase has both good and bad connotations.

Practice or repeating a process until you are successful is a proven approach. Repetition is the framework for most marketing. Commercials are repetitive to convince people of their message. You are more likely to believe a promotion the more often you see it.

You have probably also heard the phrase too much of a good thing. Even if something is good for you, overindulging may be harmful. Too much food or exercise can turn into a bad thing. There is a fine line between the benefits and consequences of any activity.

How do we determine how much is a good thing, and when does it become bad. It is not always easy to figure out. Recognizing the signs of diminishing returns helps us avoid wasted time, money, and effort. If an ad no longer has the impact it once had, it may be time to change to another ad. If a promotion no longer brings in new customers, it may be time to retire that promotion. You can often use ads again later with success.

We still want to wash, rinse, and repeat, but we want to avoid getting caught in an endless loop.
