20 Apr Letting Go of Perfect by Kali Hawik

I’ve wasted far too much time and an embarrassing amount of paper writing and rewriting words that will only be crossed out, scribbled over, or thrown away within days. If I made a grocery list or wrote out a note for myself and flubbed a word or made a mistake, I threw the paper in the trash and started a whole new list or note.

Letting go and focusing on what really mattered — like actually getting to the grocery store or capturing that fleeting idea I had — didn’t seem like an option. Perfectionism was the only choice, and it was so easy to agonize over every little detail that didn’t measure up.

When you feel as if the only solution to imperfection is to scrap what you have and start all over again, completing day-to-day tasks becomes challenging. In fact, completing anything becomes an ordeal — so much so that inaction is often the result.
