Perfectionism: Move Forward Without Getting It Perfect - by Jon Brooks
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.

Work with fear of failure, analysis paralysis and impossible standards so you can take the next useful step.
