As a perfectionist homeschooling three kids with no time to do anything – this has always been my excuse for not getting things done. <\/strong> Let’s say, I need to get the carpets steamed, but my room isn’t ready. \u00a0It’ll take 2 hours that I don’t have to get my room steam clean ready (throw out papers, pack up clothes to give away, etc.). \u00a0Before I steam clean the carpets, I want the room to be absolutely spotless, baseboards included – and who has time to do that? Not. Me.<\/p>\n

I was taught never to “half do” anything, which can be crippling if it keeps you from doing anything at all<\/strong>. \u00a0I have developed this do great or do nothing habit.<\/p>\n

My husband has been helping me out by suggesting that I make shorter lists, pick a few things to do in a day, and even if I can’t do everything – I should do something. <\/strong><\/p>\n

So I am seeing that doing half one day and half the next is okay, and doing things in stages can be more productive than doing things in marathon form.<\/p>\n

Do you see yourself as a perfectionist? What do you do to stay productive? Do you have friends or family who have this “problem”? How do they handle it? How do you handle them?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
