It doesn’t need to be perfect! Perfectionism is the enemy of productivity. That may sound extreme, yet it’s true. Why? When you focus on something so unattainable, you’re likely to give up before you ever get started.
Try changing your mindset to one that is more productive and make this your new mantra: An imperfect action that moves you closer to your desired result, is much better than taking no action at all.
Then, when you feel the pull of perfection slowing you down, ask yourself, “Am I focusing on the result or the process?”
