Perfectionists have a hard time doing anything where perfection isn’t achievable
As a perfectionist, I feel this so much. I’ve beat myself up so much over it.
Duh, there’s no point in doing something if there’s not enough time to make it perfect.
Fuck sake that hit me hard
But I’m sure tomorrow all the right conditions will aligned and I could (by some miracle) finish all my long due tasks… Right?
The sad thing is that I actually believed for years that I just need a bit better conditions or it’s just my mindset or willpower that are stopping me from doing things that I always wanted to do. Then I started learning about what ADHD is, what it does to you and that the willpower is outside your control. I’ve been taught that ADHD is just some problems with concetration and that’s it. Teachers also repeated to me a lot of times that I just need to try harder because they can see that I’m capable of doing more but just don’t want to. Life’s fun.
Perfect is the enemy of good is an aphorism which means insistence on perfection often prevents implementation of good improvements.
