Perfection My Addiction

Perfect data or information leads to the perfect choice. The problem I face most often is I can become aloof, dwelling on the consequences. What if this happens, or this, or this. Leading me to sometimes fail to even make a choice. What kind of leadership is that. None.

Henrik Edberg offers 7 tips to help:

1. Go for good enough.
Going for perfection will create a situation where a project or something else may never get done. When you realize there is something called good enough you will know that the thing you were working on is done.
Find balance between so you don't slack off putting a project aside until you have reached perfection or get loss polishing it till it shines. Find you balance through your experience.

2. Have a deadline
Setting a deadline is a good way to give yourself a kick in the butt letting you know when enough is enough.

3.Realize that you hurt yourself and the people around you buy buying into the myths of perfection.
Getting yourself loss in your own mind game of perfection will cause you to clash with people that may cause hurt and a lost friendships. Don't lose yourself in your desire to achieve perfection, think about the harm you can cause and bring yourself back to reality.

4. Accept that you are human and so is everyone else.
Self explanatory.

5. Compare yourself to yourself.
There are people who are better at thing than you are. This can lead to feelings of inferiority. So compare yourself to yourself. See how you have changed and improved over time.

6, Do what you think is the right thing.
You realize that perfectionism will hurt or harm yourself and others. When you do the right thing you will realize that other peoples expectations of have less control over you.

7. Live in and environment of human standards.
Emotions are contagious and so is perfectionism. Read magazines with realistic expectations. Spend more time with people who want to improve themselves. Live in an environment that leads you to a happy and content life.
