Imperfectionism starts with endless demands and finite capacity: getting meaningful things done means choosing what to do today without expecting to control every hour or finish every task.
Treat your reading materials and task lists as a continuous river to dip into rather than a bucket you must empty.
Focus on completing small and imperfect actions today instead of endlessly planning for a flawless future.
Relieve the pressure of perfectionism by accepting imperfect follow-through instead of demanding flawless consistency.
