  • Focused on the details that could have been better
  • “Toxic perfectionism” lead to procrastination
    • Getting trapped in the mindset of “Why do something good enough today when you could potentially do it perfect tomorrow?”
  • This video is addressing something a bit different from perfectionism, see her other video for that
  • The will to do better only exists if what you have previously accomplished was not good enough, be proud and satisfied with where you are now then follow a drive to grow
  • Never being satisfied is not desirable behavior, it’s not cool or successful, it is self-punishing and stops you
  • Appreciate what you have done
  • Wanting to improve Is a great quality
  • Foster a mindset of “I am happy and satisfied with what I have achieved and accomplished, and I have will and desire to do even better”
