Procrastinating and Perfection!

 “Someday is NOT a day of the week!” 

 

Do you procrastinate because you’re a perfectionist or you’re afraid of failing? Twice in the past week, I’ve seen the quote—“If you fall on your face, at least you’re falling forward.” So really, what’s the worst that can happen?

Harold Taylor, a Canadian time management expert, tells us that “Perfectionism is not attempting to be perfect when performing a task; it is the act of spending more time on a task, activity or decision than the results justify. … The opposite of perfectionism is not sloppiness. An e-mail message may not be that important for instance. But a hasty reply filled with typos and fractured sentences will waste more time than you saved by generating a chain of messages attempting to clarify the communication.”
