The deadline is Friday. I have to finish several articles for a magazine I’m working on. Even with an early start, I have procrastinated to the point that I am stressing myself out wondering if I will finish or not. I have to finish, but I also have this perfectionist persona that doesn’t like to turn in shoddy work. So when I come close to finishing something that I don’t LOVE, I obsess over it to the point I nearly make myself sick. Then I miss deadlines…all in the name of perfection. Ugh! It’s such a vicious cycle!!! I need to trust my own abilities more…have a bit less self-doubt. I will work on this…until next time when I will undoubtedly push myself to procrastination. I think I thrive on the pressure it causes. Ask me about that pressure Thursday night.
