Does anyone else sort of enjoy some tenets of perfectionism? I write songs and often drive myself nearly insane trying to get every detail right.
But there is a nice feeling knowing that what you’ve finished is as good as it can be, because you’ve exhausted every damn option.
- krylon 9y agoIf you can use perfectionism as a motivator, it can be very powerful and drive you - sometimes - beyond what you thought was even possible. But it can backfire. Either because you may at some point not know where to stop, or because you are so intimidated by the idea of not getting it right you do not even dare to begin.
