Some individuals may delay starting or finishing tasks because they have an excessive fear of making mistakes or falling short of their own high standards. They may believe that if they can’t do something perfectly, they shouldn’t do it at all.

Here are some solutions to help overcome Perfectionism

  1. Embrace a growth mindset: Understand that mistakes and imperfections are part of the learning process. Shift your focus from perfection to progress and improvement.
