I do get things done. But sometimes I think that I could have started some things early, avoid rush. Also a sort-of negative perfectionism that does the opposite, where I end up delaying the start while thinking about the best time to start and how to avoid possible trouble etc.
How do you categorise and adjust accordingly about such stuff?
If you are someone who got out of or reduced such behaviour(or helped someone to do that), what were the things that you/they did? How did you/they start out and progress etc.
Thanks in advance
I never solved it, but I realized earlier that I can play to my strengths instead of fighting my nature. Does this irritate, confuse and inconvenience myself and others sometimes ? Yes
But it has allowed me to do a lot of stuff and be truer to myself over many years. I am less of a conformist , and totally shaped my life and career for this to be an advantage .
Care to expand on how you’ve shaped your career for this to be an advantage?
My superpower is avoiding too much work, and do only the work needed at the last minute. Obviously this simply will not help in many places.
But high risk, high reward, last minute changes to the job, high stress deadlines fit me pretty good . Don’t ask me to work steadily on a task each day, I’ll probably quit. But I can do the above better than most
Can you share the kind of job you have ? I’m interested
