Perfectionism and its Impact on Progress

Perfectionism. Perfectionism hinders your progress: by obsessively working on insignificant tasks, you only waste time. It is important to realize that by devoting yourself entirely to one thing, you forget about other areas that require your attention. As a result, perfectionists sometimes fail to do necessary things or do them too late, which prevents them from achieving success. Allocate a specific amount of time to each task (preferably half the usual time) and monitor your speed to meet deadlines. This advice has helped many people overcome perfectionism. They have come to understand that not doing something perfectly does not mean being lazy or indifferent to the results of their work.
