I Must Confess

Is it possible to be a procrastinator and a perfectionist at the same time? Because I am. And it drives me crazy! Can anyone else relate?

My perfectionism is sometimes exhausting, and my procrastinating is downright insufferable! But in defense of my own self, my procrastination is not for everything.....Just those things that I dread!
You know, those kind of things that must be done, or else. Ughhh!  
My perfectionism, on the other hand, is for any and everything. The problem I have with perfectionism is that I want to do a thorough and proper job, so I wait for that perfect time when I'll be able to do a thorough and perfect job. And to be honest, in today's world, I really don't think many of us have that kind of time anymore! Thus, waiting for that perfect time can quickly turn into procrastination.... and so the cycle goes. 

But the older I get, the more I'm realizing that

So, I've come to the conclusion that instead of beating my perfectionist, procrastinating self up, I should work a bit harder at taking things little by little. And, step by step, I will work through my procrastination and perfectionism one accomplishment at a time! How about you?

  1. Couldn't agree more! For me, getting started is the hardest part. Once I start to see progress, it motivates me to keep going!

    1. Yes, and often, once I get started, it isn't as bad as I thought it would be, either!
