Well… quit it. It’s a losing battle. (I can say this as an ever-recovering perfectionist.)
Most of the time “Done is better than perfect” because perfect never gets done.
Take, for example, that art collection you are working on. (You are working, right?) Is it perfect? Probably not. Will it ever be? Probably not. And you know what – even if you THINK it’s perfect, you will likely find someone who wants to license your perfect creation as long as you make a few changes… 🙂 Nature of art licensing.
So I encourage you to join me in my effort to do great work but to stop over-thinking it in an effort to ‘make it perfect’.
Who’s in?
Here’s to your creative success!

thanks Tara! You totally know I needed this kick in the butt! haha…
I’m trying Tara!! I’m really trying! haha. But it’s so hard to let it go…. I’m getting there though.
That’s a great perspective, which brings about more freedom and less fear. I always have to remind myself… I strive for excellence, not perfection.
