The Perfectionist
You are obsessed with your idea of perfection and end up spending way too much time on a specific task. This leads to feelings of being overwhelmed, missed deadlines and delaying other priorities.
Solution: Make sure you have achievable standards that don’t get in the way. Train yourself to do things that fall short of your idea of perfection until you begin to accept that the “imperfect” but functional is enough for most things.

- The Idealist: You spend all your time envisioning the perfect future. You know you'll never reach the vision in your mind, so you don't make a move to begin.
Finding your “yes”
It's much easier to say no to things when you can identify your yes. A good yes should align with your core values and leave you feeling fulfilled.
Ask yourself these five questions to find out how you feel about an opportunity. If you answer "no" to any of these questions, you should probably let it go.
- Do you want to take this on?
- Why?
- How much time will it take?
- Do you have the time?
- Does it fulfil you?
