Underachievement can also be impacted by trying to do work that is TOO EASY or work that is TOO DIFFICULT. 

If we finish something that’s too easy, we don’t value the results because we didn’t have to work hard to create them. If we attempt to do something that’s too difficult and we never create satisfying results, we don’t feel as if our work was worth it. 

We want to engage in work or projects that allow us to squirm so that we can grow and increase our self-esteem. If it’s too easy, this won’t happen. If it’s too difficult and we consistently fail, that’s not ideal either. 

I invite you to consider these questions:

• What are you spending time doing that is way too easy for you and not at all satisfying?

When what we’re capable of doesn’t match the results we’ve created, we’re underachieving. 

One of the factors impacting underachievement is perfectionism. 

Perfectionism is “refusing to accept any standard short of perfection.”

Perfectionism may cause you to “wait to start” or “wait to finish” until you can do so without fault, error, or mistakes. 

I invite you to consider these questions:

• When might you be willing to be “done rather than perfect”?

Susan Winebrenner defines “underachievement” as “a discrepancy between capability and achievement.”

Underachievement can be caused or affected by these factors:

• perfectionism

Here’s my definition of underachievement:

“The gap between a person’s gifts, talents, passions, and strengths and the results they really want to create in their lives.”

In screenwriting, you want to have as much WHITE SPACE as possible on your script page. White space makes it easier to read the script. 

I’d argue that you need more WHITE SPACE in your life. WHITE SPACE basically refers to OPEN AREAS of actual physical space, room in your day or calendar, peace in your brain, etc. 

I invite you to consider these questions:

• Where do you need more WHITE SPACE in your life?

In her book Decluttering At the Speed of Life , author Dana K. White teaches to “only keep what you can contain… “ (and I paraphrase). 

When we practice “keeping only what we can contain,” we intentionally make decisions to keep only what we have the capacity for NOW - we stop assuming what we’ll want or need in the future. 

I invite you to consider these questions:

Which of your CONTAINERS are too full?

What don’t you have room for?

What are your essential few things or commitments you really want to keep or prioritize?

Which areas of your life require CONTAINERS?

If you start letting go of whatever your TOO MUCH might be, what is your brain telling you will happen:

you’ll miss out?

you’ll feel regret?

you’ll be lacking?

you won’t have enough?

Essentialism by Greg McKeown is a terrific read.

You must know what you’re willing or not willing to do. If you’re willing to do something, it is likely because you have the sustainable energy and capacity to do so. If you’re not willing to do something, it may be because:

• you don’t have the capacity to do it

I invite you to consider these questions:

• When are you reluctant to communicate what you’re not willing to do?

In her book Decluttering at the Speed of Life, author Dana K. White teaches (and I paraphrase): “Decluttering is not the same thing as organizing.”

For me, organizing can tip into perfectionism, whereas decluttering is all about creating space. 

I invite you to consider these questions:

• What are you thinking or feeling when you declutter?
