Instead of never being satisfied with \u201cgood enough,\u201d talk to others about their standards. What does a good job look like to your boss, peer, or client? Seek their feedback on expected results, costs, and timelines rather than trying to meet your extremely high standards. Then check in regularly with these colleagues. Don\u2019t wait until you think the project is finished, build in checkpoints where you share your progress at 50% or 80% done. Your boss or client just might tell you that the work is good enough at that point. You can also try small experiments where you relax your standards slightly. What happened? Were your worst fears realized? Finally, consider how perfectionism impacts your relationships. Are you setting unrealistic standards for those around you? The need to have it \u201cperfect\u201d will often annoy others, and in extreme cases, drive them away. For their sake \u2014 and yours \u2014 learn to be satisfied with good enough.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>This tip is adapted from <\/strong><strong>\u201c<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2020\/01\/6-habits-that-hurt-your-career-and-how-to-overcome-them?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=newsletter_daily&amp;utm_campaign=mtod_notactsubs\">6 Habits That Hurt Your Career \u2014 and How to Overcome Them<\/a><strong>,\u201d<\/strong> by Kerry Goyette<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: \u00a0Goyette, K.\u00a0 (2020). 6 Habits That Hurt Your Career \u2014 and How to Overcome Them. <em>Harvard Business Review.<\/em> \u00a0From: <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2020\/01\/6-habits-that-hurt-your-career-and-how-to-overcome-them?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=newsletter_daily&amp;utm_campaign=mtod_notactsubs\">https:\/\/hbr.org\/2020\/01\/6-habits-that-hurt-your-career-and-how-to-overcome-them?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=newsletter_daily&amp;utm_campaign=mtod_notactsubs<\/a> .
