I don’t talk much because I’m too busy listening to the voices inside me.
Perfectionism is not a growth mindset. Getting things wrong, making mistakes, and learning from them is the basis of learning. If you got perfect grades, you’re not challenging yourself enough.
Perfection is an impossible, vaguely-defined endgoal. If you were the best, what is there left to do? You’re not here to perform feats of academic success - you’re here to learn.
Don’t sweat the small details. Will a couple percentage points on an assignment or even a final grade matter in the long term? Employers often don’t look at your GPA. They look at your skills. Focus on becoming a flexible learner, not a rigid perfection-driven drone.
You need to finish. Your assignment will never be perfect and there will always be room for improvement. It’s better to hand in an imperfect product than to not hand in anything at all.
Set reasonable goals. To err is human. Don’t set yourself up for failure. Develop reasonable goals and strive for them. Celebrate reaching a standard of good enough, which isn’t always perfect.
Just do it. You need to get something done. Don’t let your idea of perfection paralyze you. Make a messy product. You’re not going to get it right the first time. You can always edit and refine the product later.
You are not any less for producing less than perfect. Take some time to be proud of yourself and your progress.
