Had a 1 on 1 with my manager yesterday. He's says my perfectionism delays shit too long, but also realizes it's good when harnessed correctly bcz my work is solid. Just wish I could figure out where to do shit work to come in on time on my tasks. Going to start next week.

Does your manager give you deadlines, even if just in theory? I have an adjacent issue where I'll do great work for as long as it takes me to do it. But if I have a deadline, I know I can't delay to meet that goal. Typically the sooner the better

I have a coworker just like that! Love working together with them, because I have turned my back on perfectionism entirely, so I'm great at making mockups, proofs of concepts and prototypes at a rapid pace. Then I hand them my work and they refine it. Gives them a solid scaffolding of what to do and how it should end up looking, so they're not overwhelmed by pre-planning and considering everything upfront, and I get to not worry about the details. Solid win-win for everyone!
