“Perfect” seems like an ideal state: everything crafted to a point where no improvements can be made and the work is truly ready to be shared with the world. So how can “perfectionism” be a bad thing? The problem is that perfection is impossible so the perfectionist is chasing a moving target (so their work is never done). Moreover the desire for perfection is usually not driven by a personal drive for excellence so much as a fear of how others will judge us. The result ends up being an endless cycle of tweaking and revising with no end in sight.
In this video you’ll learn why perfectionism is a problem, where it’s coming from, and most importantly, you’ll get actionable steps to overcome your perfectionism.
