The Perfectionism Project

When is it an act of self-care for me to be productive and when is it an act of self-care instead to change my plans and take clean rest? Especially if you're not operating at your normal capacity.

Tune in to hear about the questions that help me figure out whether to follow my plans or not, a trick I use to get myself to do the work I had planned and the highest act of self-care you can do for yourself in a similar situation. If you have health issues, family commitments or anything else going on in your life that's making operating at your normal capacity a challenge, this episode is for you.

• How I finally started creating content consistently (without forcing it)
