Perfectionism vs Productivity: Balancing Your Inner Voice and Positive Thinking
There are many opinions about perfectionism. Some people say that it’s something from which you can recover. Others say that it’s a trait to emulate. I believe that perfectionism is a characteristic that people are born with. If you have the perfectionistic trait while you are working hard in London, Chicago, Atlanta, and NYC, you likely see it in many family members, as well as your ancestors. There are pros and cons with perfectionism. The pros are that you get a lot of stuff done! And done well! The cons are that you can drive yourself into the ground and burn out. I should know. I have the perfectionism trait. In the past, I was living my life in San Diego, California, navigating how not to burn myself out, when I realized that perfectionism is something I can learn to MANAGE. It’s all about embracing the productivity and balancing your inner voice and positive thinking.
