COURSE
Perfectionism: Move Forward Without Getting It Perfect
With Jon Brooks
Perfectionism can look like high standards while quietly keeping you stuck. You delay, overthink, revise and wait until the work feels safe enough to continue. This short course examines the cost of perfectionism, makes failure less threatening and gives you practical thinking tools for taking the next useful step. An imperfect attempt can still be careful, useful work. Let it teach you something. Return to the final lesson whenever perfectionism turns a simple task into procrastination or analysis paralysis.

Thanks for reminding me about the effort and not just trying to be perfect. Good enough is often preferred over perfect.
