Perfectionism - Getting Unstuck By Satisficing

Stuck Due To Perfectionism?

Perfectionists typically:

- Overthink habitually, obsessively

- Are afraid of making a mistake

- Are "Maximizers"

- Want to get the very most or best out of every situation

So Perfectionists get stuck in vicious cycles:

- Obsess about finding the best solution

- Justify optimization as an excuse to procrastinate

- Gather too much data

- Overthink then can't make a good decision when needed

- Second-guess their decisions so are never happy long

- Set unachieveable goals

 

The solution might be become a "Satisficer" instead. 

Satisficers are more effective because they:

- Use a much simpler, easier approach to decision making

- Are better at making good decisions

- Are much happier and successful as a result

- Are in a virtuous cycle
