Do you ever find yourself spending hours on a project just to realize you’ve freelanced off in a direction that isn’t important?

Or you’ve spent so much additional time perfecting a small piece of it, just to watch your peers get good grades with much less effort.

Or you are never really sure if what you’re doing is “done” until you turn it in?

Perfectionism can make it hard to stop making adjustments to an already really good, perfectly acceptable project. This wastes time that doesn’t give you proportionately better grades, and could be spent doing something else.

Learn what “done” means before you get started on your project and save that extra energy for another project or play time.
