Dispiriting as this might sound at first, it contains a liberating message: **if you’re procrastinating on something because you’re worried you won’t do a good enough job, you can relax—because judged by the flawless standards of your imagination, you definitely won’t do a good enough job. So you might as well make a start**." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[perfectionism]], [[progressing-slowly]], [[acceptance]], [[procrastination]], [[routines]], [[discipline]], **Source** -- [[202410130434 - B - Four Thousand Weeks]] **See Also** -- [[202410120924 - AtN - Embrace annoying problems as a signal you are progressing towards success]]
