Welcome to The Possible Future Podcast!
In our first episode we will discuss why PERFECTIONISM IS A PRODUCTIVITY KILLER.
We all want to look good when we go out, we all want to make a good impression at work with our boss or during our presentations to stakeholders. It’s our future in our hands, and we want things to be perfect! I get it.
The problem with trying to be perfect is that we are our own worse critics, and it prevents us from moving forward.
We don’t want to disappoint our bosses, our families, our friends … We know we could do better and we strive to do things right. But when we seek perfection we inevitably stop real meaningful progress and trade it in for I call perceived progress.
In my words, perceived progress is what we keep to ourselves and never sees the day of light. We perceive it as progress, but really nobody else knows about it other than ourselves.
Simply put, while we have work in progress and don’t share it with others, we end up not adding value at all to anybody, and ironically, the only one we end up disappointing is ourselves. Granted, the impact of inaction is much larger than that.
When you can’t reach that level of perfection you are looking for, you are going to get stressed, and you will feel undoubtedly unfulfilled. It is hard to constantly be seeking a level of perfection, it’s hard mentally and emotionally. Seeking perfection will also hamper your creativity, because you are not allowing yourself to try new things and fail. It decreases risk taking as you are not willing to “waste” valuable time on experimenting new things.
I have personally struggled with this for a good bit in my corporate life.
Tune in to know what I did to break that cycle, and the 5 tips to stop procrastinating.
Enjoy!
