I’ll be the first to say that perfectionism makes no legitimate sense. It’s unnecessary and — in a lot of cases — unattainable. For some reason, though, it’s impossible for me to move my goal post closer to reality. That’s the problem with perfectionism: you can’t just “turn it off.” It lives with you. It affects every task that’s set before you, whether that task is big or small. It drains you in more ways than one.

The line becomes kind of blurred when we start seeing influencers as the ones who know everything, but really, they know just as much as we do, and they may just make it look more pleasing to the eye.

Organize a to-do list. Note your priorities, and block off time to complete them. I’ve found timetable blocking and scheduling to be very therapeutic for an expert procrastinator like myself.
