SO how do you work with perfectionists to get anything DONE! I am about to go insane trying to get things finished when everyone around me wants to nit pick fonts, wording, colors… everything and a project that takes three minutes ends up taking six months.

Can you actually ever get “everything” done? Loosen that belief and turn it around to something as true or truer: “Whatever is meant to get done, will get done.” Or “When I try to get everything done, I get nothing done.” Or “When I relax, I get more done.”

but still doesn’t answer the other part of the question on getting it all done — forget perfectly — many people suffer from this treadmill of getting everythign done and can’t relax.

Thanks Martha. What a great way of looking at perfectionism. I have been working on this part of me and looking to see if the perfection I am seeking is external to me(what others think) or an internal strive to do things differently. This has made all the difference. For me it boils down to judgment. If I am trying to please someone, it is due to my fear of being judged. If I am trying to better myself to live a more fulfilling life, I see this perfection as a path to higher living.

I was running around, trying to get things perfect for arriving guests … This included trying to redo my manicure so they wouldn’t have to look at chipped nail polish! Then I decided to watch Martha’s video. It changed my morning. My friends want to be with my husband and me and have FUN. I’m sure they don’t care if the towels are folded perfectly and the pillows are fluffed just so. I don’t when I go to their house. So I’m gong to be brave and say ” Welcome to my imperfect house. Let’s go for a walk on the beach and chat.” I’ll wear runners so they don’t see my chipped nail polish.

I love it, Martha! You always make me laugh, and you did it again
Now, to embrace and enjoy my perfectionism.
