i really dislike it when people don’t understand perfectionism.

like, it isn’t always “person who has tons of motivation and spends a ton of time making this thing *just* right”

wayyyyyy more often than not it’s:

”I know that if I try to make this thing, it won’t be perfect, so I simply won’t try.”

which definitely sounds bad, right? but when you realize that it doesn’t just apply to voluntarily making art, then you realize how perfectionism is not at all a good thing in any context. 

“i know that if I try to work on this assignment right now, it won’t be good enough, so i’ll wait until the last possible moment so that I have something forcing me to do it.”

”i know that I should start going to the gym, but I won’t see any improvement right away, so I just won’t.”

”i know that i should brush my teeth tonight, but that won’t be good enough to undo the fact that i haven’t brushed them 4 days in a row, so I just won’t.”

perfectionism isn’t the uncontrollable impulse to make things “just right”. (although it can occasionally manifest as this.)

perfectionism is the absolute, psychological inability to accept the concepts of “good enough” and “better than nothing”. even when you spell it out for yourself in a long text post like this.

gonna rewatch 20th Century Girl because my self loathing is that deep

this is my 169th post and i was fittingly just sent what seemed to be some blurred out male genitalia ( i didn't click to reveal dw ) from some crypto account with no posts, i mean you're on theme? but fuck you dude. fuck you.

Studyblr?

I’m considering mixing in a bunch of studyblry things into this blog, should i?

‘eat the frog' method

Hi all, it’s werelivingarts. I just stumbled across this method called ‘eat the frog’, which means you get the most difficult or important task out of your way first. I actually have been using this method for a long time, hope this post gives you a new way of managing your time and productivity! 😜

“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” – Mark Twain 

things i've been doing lately ( and things i should do be doing)

- notion, i found just messing around and looking at inspo on pinterest helped me a lot more than looking at videos - watching videos for learning - corbettmaths vids are soooo helpful - trying not to stress (kind of failing but we'll get there) - making a revision timetable for school and sticking by it kind of a lackluster supposedly weekly post but we'll get there eventually until next time!

hot people have obsessions with true crime and could probably be the worlds greatest serial killers and get away with it but aren't athletic enough to go on the run
