  • Ep 509: When Re-Doing Your Work Is Self-Sabotage + When It's Not (best of the podcast)

    Our perfectionism often makes us think that the work we've produced isn't good enough and that we need to re-do it. This usually turns into us doing our work over again and again. And when we get into this habit, it's very disheartening to even approach a task so we end up procrastinating on it and putting it off.

    In this episode, I'm talking about why I wanted to re-record two podcast episodes and how I came to a decision as to whether or not to let myself do it. If you find yourself re-doing your work so it's good enough or constantly making little edits to anything you create then this episode will help.
