Perfectionism is the creative’s curse. We want every detail to shine, but that can lead to projects dragging on far too long. The key is learning when “good enough” is truly good enough. Start by setting deadlines and milestones to keep yourself on track.
To break the perfectionism cycle, practice releasing work that feels “done” rather than “perfect.” You’ll be surprised at how little others notice the tiny details you obsess over. Allowing yourself to be okay with “good enough” can actually free you up to take on more projects and grow faster.
And remember, sometimes “done” is just “perfect” wearing a slightly messier outfit.
