36. ARE YOU FOCUSED ON PERFECTION OR PROGRESS?
Perfectionism can appear to be a positive trait, since it encourages you to set high goals and perform well. However, perfectionism frequently causes procrastination, frustration, and self-doubt. Many people put off starting projects for fear of making mistakes or not getting things precisely right. Instead of moving forward, they get mired in a loop of overthinking and reluctance. True organisation and achievement, stem from focussing on steady progress rather than waiting for perfection.
One of the most significant disadvantages of perfectionism is the fear of failure. Many people avoid starting initiatives or making decisions, because they are concerned about not doing things precisely. This causes unnecessary delays and missed opportunities. Instead of striving for perfection, focus on making consistent progress. The secret to success is to start, learn, and improve as you go. Making any progress is preferable to remaining stuck.
Setting realistic expectations can help you overcome your perfectionism. It is necessary to strive for greatness, but expecting perfection in every situation would just slow you down. Accept that mistakes and failures are a natural part of the learning process. Instead of stressing about minor issues, concentrate on finishing jobs quickly, and improving them over time. Allow yourself to move forward, without the strain of being perfect.
Prioritising progress above perfection, allows you to remain productive, motivated, and organised. When you focus on doing your best rather than waiting for the “perfect” moment, you accomplish more and experience less stress. Whether it is finishing work, organising your home, or managing your time, constant effort yields greater outcomes than continual overthinking.
