“Done is better than perfect.”
-- Sheryl Sandberg #quotes #perfectionism
Yip. Or as my boss used to put it, "Perfection is the enemy of done." :)
Perfectionism is procrastination in disguise. Dyson’s 5,126 failed prototypes prove that iteration—not planning—is the real engine of success. https://hackernoon.com/perfection-is-delusional-how-being-bad-at-first-leads-to-billion-dollar-breakthroughs #perfectionism
How i stopped worrying and learned to love failure (or at least learned to live with it).
I’m a recovering perfectionist. If I’d listen to my lizard brain, I would avoid doing something altogether rather than trying and risk failure. Here are my thoughts on how to better deal with failure.
Creative paralysis isn't about a lack of ideas—it's the ego's fear of a "bad" first attempt. We're afraid of being judged for our learning phase, so we don't start at all.
But mastery is built on consistency and the courage to learn in public. Your first post, video, or song isn't valuable for its quality; it's valuable because you did it.
Just begin.

#Psyop #troll farms will be harping on #toxicIdealism to suppress the #vote on the left. This has been going on for awhile now. Do not listen to such voices
"They're nice but {insert deranged appeal to #perfectionism here} so I'm not voting" is how #MAGA and #geopolitical #trollfarm operates on *you*
“Being thin created intense anxiety that I wouldn’t be able to maintain that weight for life, and I couldn’t.”

Being both a perfectionist AND a meteorologist is a difficult combination, but just like Michael Scott's book in The Office, "Somehow I Manage." 😄

"At first blush, it can be hard to take perfectionism seriously as a source of suffering. The lament “I’m a perfectionist” carries a strong whiff of humblebrag—the kind of thing savvy job applicants say when asked their greatest flaw." —Leslie Jamison for The New Yorker

Stop polishing. Choose one person: a trusted colleague, a mentor, or even a friendly customer. In the next 5 minutes, share the roughest version of your work that still gets the main idea across. Call it a draft or an idea for feedback. Ask for just one specific piece of feedback. Then, immediately close the file or email and move on.
Share your early work. Let the feedback guide your next step.

Release the rough draft. You grow when you put out work that is good enough for now.

By using the Edison Method, you move from being stuck trying to be perfect to confidently making continuous discoveries. Release that not-yet-perfect idea, learn from how it is received right away, and improve your way to new ideas. Consider what not-yet-perfect thing you are ready to launch and learn from.
#EdisonMethod #Perfectionism #Productivity #Innovation (16/16)
Using Edison's method turns the worry of making a "perfect product" into a scientific search for "learned success." By always experimenting and learning from each try, you will gain the confidence to launch, adjust, and finally succeed where people who seek perfection often get stuck.

I found out that not only is #perfectionism an art-killer, but I also found out that if you forget about the obsession with the results and just enjoy the process, you will be MUCH better off!
I'm GMing this Saturday.
FRIEND — Wow! Your prep level is impressive. That campaign's gonna be amazing to play!
ME — Uh... It's a 3-4 hour one-shot...
FRIEND — 😱 WHAT?! Dude, you just created 4 complete acts, 100+ named NPCs, a detailed map with 30+ locations, dozens of alternative sequences... FOR 4 HOURS?! Your players will see maybe... 10% of what you've prepared? They'll meet 8-10 NPCs max, visit 3-4 locations, and follow ONE narrative thread!
ME — Yep... 😉
