Episode 32: Procrastination & perfectionism

Do you avoid doing things because you’re worried they won’t meet your high expectations?

Perfectionism is fear of failure, or fear that things won’t turn out the way you want them to be.

Procrastinating due to perfectionism is a way of protecting yourself from failure and rejection by trying to not look stupid, and because of that, it can result in not even trying.

Allowing it to get in your way means that you’ll never succeed.

Redefining failure and success can help you rise above perfectionism.
