Do you beat yourself up a lot for not doing things "perfectly"? Do you hold yourself to different (unfair) standards that you wouldn't hold others up to? Do you often describe yourself as a "perfectionist" to other people?
Then this is the episode for you! Risa Williams dives deep into the subject of perfectionism with PR strategist and writer, Tšhegofatšo Ndabane. They discuss how perfectionism can often lead to procrastination, and how it's often about beating ourselves up before we've even had a chance to give something new a try.
They discuss:
-Perfectionism as a socially acceptable form of procrastination
-How writers can sometimes drift over into both perfectionism and procrastination
-Learning ways to talk to yourself to ease up on the "serious mindset" that perfectionism tends to cause in us
-How perfectionism can zap the fun out of any task we need to do
