this mindset was taught to me when i first started running (thank you coach she’s a real one 🥹) and i guess this applies in other aspects of life, like building habits.
also this is a very personal fuck you to perfectionism bc i finally finished updating my 2024 portfolio wooooooo
celebrating incremental progress and focusing on building momentum is better than letting perfectionism drag you down 🙂↕️

😃The best advice I've found, especially as a perfectionist. As someone who always strives for flawlessness, I've realized this mindset can often hold me back. It's easy to get caught up in making everything just right, but that can lead to never finishing projects or, worse, never starting them. This advice reminds me to focus on completion rather than perfection. It's about making progress and not letting the fear of imperfection paralyze you. You can always refine and improve something once it exists, but you can't improve what you haven't created yet. It's about striking a balance between quality and actually getting things done

💭paired with “good enough is better than perfect” — this has helped me (a chronic perfectionist) balance staying on top of my goals while not being so hard on myself.

🤏it is all too easy to get swept up in all-or-nothing thinking. my house is messy so I either need to clean the entire thing or continue living in squalor. I have a shitload of work to do so I’ll either avoid it all or I have to block out 7 hours to get everything done. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!
Enter: just doing a little bit. I don’t have to do all the dishes, just a couple.
as a perfectionist, this is still a novel concept to me even after many years. i still relish the fact that I can be like “oh just do a little bit!” Like how cool.

there is something so deeply intimate about knowing a person’s penmanship. you could know someone for years even but not know what their handwriting looks like.
i had a coworker (turned friend) at my old job tell me how when she misses me she looks at the post-it with the passwords i had written for my work accounts.

it still baffles me that there are people out there who heavily rely on chatgpt, maybe even have fully replaced google, to make the decisions for them. idk which is worse using chatgpt or tiktok as a search engine bc what the actual fuck ?? 😭
