Yesterday, I made bad decisions. I may make bad decisions tomorrow. But today, I made a decision that was slightly better than it could have been, and I’m calling that a win.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

I have a bad habit of being too perfectionist, it's affecting my productivity and many other things actually.

I also heard that procrastination is linked with perfectionism

@shinigamiookamiryuu Instead of ordering the Meat Lover's Skillet Special, which is hash browns, ham, sausage, bacon, two large eggs, sausage gravy, and your choice of pancakes or toast; I chose a half-order of biscuits and gravy and a side of bacon.

Give yourself some credit. That's at least half as bad, so your decision was twice as good.

All any of us can do, really. Awareness and perspective are often hard to come by, so congrats on that!

I try to make one consciously good decision a day. I find that it sometimes snowballs into good things.

Recognizing these positives goes a long way toward accepting and loving oneself. I'm happy for you.

Good... enough! :-D

Remember it's not about being perfect. It's about making the next right decision. So long as you do that, you'll be fine.
