I used to chase perfect results. Then I looked back at my old work and thought, “This isn’t even close to perfect.” I could do way better now. So why suffer for perfection, when consistent, good-enough work still leads to growth, but without driving yourself freaking nuts.
Perfectionism feels like a performance enhancer, but it actually works like a limiter. What stood out here is how it turns progress into punishment. One thing I’d add is that perfectionists often struggle with delegation too, not just delivery. When your bar is unrealistic, trusting others becomes impossible. And that trust gap slows everything down.

So true.
Done lets you learn, perfect keeps you stuck.

Great point. When you can’t trust others, you end up doing everything yourself.
