Perfectionists are never satisfied and their striving is accompanied with the feeling that things are just never good enough. Many people view perfectionism as a positive attribute. We believe that perfectionism can actually be very harmful to one’s productivity. Its important to feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when you complete a task or project. Perfectionists often think they have to be perfect and do things perfectly. This can lead to procrastination, a fear of feedback and criticism, and the tendency to judge others.

Remove the burden of “perfection” from your life and instead focus on your achievements and the completion of a task. You’ll feel less stress, more fulfillment and experience improved productivity during your workday.
