A Lonely Perfectionist

Are you someone who has to do it all by yourself? Is it hard to hand over responsibilities to someone else, not trusting that they’ll do a good enough job? Can you accept a mediocre job, of yourself included? If things have to be done a certain way, and you believe that you are the only one who can deliver, then sometimes the burden can be too much.

When this is the case, procrastination is often a way out.

This could be the only way you know how to find relief from your expectation of perfection. Because then you can blame any flaws of your performance on lack of time.

So what to do? This is a time to:

*Challenge your high expectations of yourself. Let yourself have room for improvement and be ok with a “good enough” job.

*Let others help you. Be open to other ideas and ways of doing things. Loosen up your perfectionist standards and see what other possibilities there are.

And like I said before, enjoy the process!
