Are you a perfectionist who always finds themselves procrastinating? Do you feel like your productivity is suffering because you’re too busy striving for perfection? Women, we see you.

And you’re not alone.

In fact, perfectionism can be the enemy of productivity.

We get it, you want everything in your life to be perfect – your work, your relationships, your hobbies – but that pursuit of perfectionism can lead to paralysis. Instead of taking action, you’re stuck in a pool of anxiety, feeling like nothing is ever good enough.

But here’s the truth: life isn’t about being perfect. It’s about progress and growth, even if that means making a few mistakes along the way. Perfectionism is often rooted in fear – fear of failure, fear of criticism, fear of not being good enough. But by letting go of the need to be perfect and the anxiety it causes, you can start making progress towards your goals.

Instead of aiming for perfection, aim for progress. Break your tasks into smaller, more manageable steps, and focus on completing each one to the best of your ability, without obsessing over every detail. And remember, sometimes good enough is good enough! Don’t waste time and energy trying to make something perfect when it isn’t necessary.

Life is messy and imperfect, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be productive and successful. With a little hard work and determination, you can achieve your goals, one step at a time.

Be well. Stay kind.
