I have always liked to do all the work with the highest possible quality and flawlessly, and this is of course impossible, which negatively affected my productivity and doubled the time it takes to spend any work that may not take much time. I searched for a solution to this problem and learned that many people suffer from this disease called perfectionism, so what is the serious impact of this problem on our lives? How can we get rid of it?
Idealism is a demand for perfection in all actions all the time, and this of course is not achievable, but rather counter-productive most of the time, so most of us raise the ceiling of our expectations a lot about the work required, and this creates great psychological pressure, and as a result, starting work becomes difficult and therefore we continue to procrastinate to avoid this difficulty .
Often our idealism causes us to accomplish the work by making us not complete what we started, personally I never finish my curriculum, I want to study and comprehend every semester 100%, and of course time does not allow this most of the time, so I always repeated the same class every Once! Which was causing my poor academic achievement and feelings of frustration and lack of achievement.
So our desire to do business perfectly always will cause your productivity to decline and reduce the quality of business because of course, as a result of postponement, we will be forced to start very late, as well as causing increased psychological pressure on us and our feelings of frustration and loss of confidence in ourselves and ultimately failure, which will reflect negatively on all aspects. Our life.
In the end I decided to face it, and I accepted the idea that idealism does not exist, and that it is okay to have some mistakes in the end, we will work to fix them later, you do not have to absorb 100% of the class, 70% is enough, and we will make up the rest with time, and I convinced myself that only I have to start getting the work done and making progress, not the perfect result.
I applied this principle on all sides, really it helped me a lot, this matter helped me accept all the results that I got and I was happy with, I was just starting to get the work done and then at the end I work on fixing the errors.
The search for idealism deprives us of the happiness of success and achievement, we have to accept the idea that the results will not always be perfect, even we are not perfect, and it is not necessary to be perfect at all, we just have to try and make progress even a little, then work to correct our mistakes by research, learning and experience over time.
