Figure Out Which Type of Perfectionist You’re Dealing With

There are two types of perfectionists.

• Avoidant perfectionists have trouble beginning tasks. Deadlines trigger their anxiety about doing things perfectly, and therefore, they drag their feet when starting a new project.
• Obsessive perfectionists tend to struggle to complete tasks. Both kinds of perfectionists have trouble prioritizing and struggle to allocate their time according to what’s most important. Both types also share a habit of expanding the scope of projects. But how you deal with these traits may differ according to the type you’re dealing with.
