Done is better than perfect

The best advice I've found, especially as a perfectionist. As someone who always strives for flawlessness, I've realized this mindset can often hold me back. It's easy to get caught up in making everything just right, but that can lead to never finishing projects or, worse, never starting them. This advice reminds me to focus on completion rather than perfection. It's about making progress and not letting the fear of imperfection paralyze you. You can always refine and improve something once it exists, but you can't improve what you haven't created yet. It's about striking a balance between quality and actually getting things done

excuses make today easier but tomorrow harder. discipline makes today harder but tomorrow easier.

paired with “good enough is better than perfect” — this has helped me (a chronic perfectionist) balance staying on top of my goals while not being so hard on myself.

TAKE A SECOND TO BE STOKED ABOUT HITTING MILESTONES. DON’T MOVE THE GOAL POST JUST YET.

i’ve spent a lot of my * career * accomplishing life goals, but barely noticing because i’ve been so quick to push the finish line further, if you get me. it goes something like this- throughout childhood, maybe you follow a blog, maybe it’s key in forming the foundations of your taste. for YEARS the dream is to grace the pixels of the holy fork. and then, it happens, they review the record, they say nice things, and just like that you understand it’s possible. you’re playing ball in a new league, so you keep playing, you know what it takes so you play hard, and barely notice the w. this past week i rolled out a project that i’ve been working on for a long time. it’s not linked here because that’s not what i’m recommending- i’m taking my own gd advice and taking a gd sec to be pumped i made things and am showing them to people. i am not enlightened; i will get back to relentlessly “marketing” in no time. for now though, it’s cool to make a thing, so i made a cool thing, and now i think it’s cool i made that thing. i recommend remembering to take 1 sec to remember it’s cool you made a thing, because it’s cool you made a thing. you can find my thing on my page, send me yr thing too so i can be like “cool hell yeah.”

seeing a person’s penmanship for the first time

there is something so deeply intimate about knowing a person’s penmanship. you could know someone for years even but not know what their handwriting looks like. i had a coworker (turned friend) at my old job tell me how when she misses me she looks at the post-it with the passwords i had written for my work accounts. (sharing mine here bc in my head i’m friends with everyone who comes across this post. pi.fyi community has gotten me through some tough times last year and i love learning new things through people’s recs here!!)

Trust your own judgment

it still baffles me that there are people out there who heavily rely on chatgpt, maybe even have fully replaced google, to make the decisions for them. idk which is worse using chatgpt or tiktok as a search engine bc what the actual fuck ?? 😭

watching someone else's in-flight entertainment

best believe the chismosa in me was #activated and it’s always fun to see someone else’s reactions to what they’re watching
