Understand why the pursuit of excellence is productive. The student will also learn specific tips to focus on each day instead of being trapped by perfectionism standards.
- I have a confession to make.…I used to suffer from perfectionism.…When I was exhibiting these tendencies,…I would set very high, often unrealistic…requirements for myself.…I feared failure and I would often procrastinate.…When I didn't achieve my set expectations,…it resulted in a critical self-evaluation.…Basically, when I worked on a task,…it was never good enough in my eye.…
Talking to many administrative support professionals…throughout the years, I have found that many of us…suffer from perfectionism at various degrees.…We want to know that people are receiving quality outputs…and never have to question the work that we produce.…That's admirable but perfectionism…is not the way to achieve this.…Instead, I have found that the pursuit of excellence…is a much more productive way to go about your work.…
By attempting to exceed expectations,…instead of trying to do everything perfectly,…we have a much more realistic target to reach.…We put much less pressure on ourselves,…feel a greater sense of accomplishment,…
