I, like many other people, have a serious issue with perfectionism. I procrastinate, because I obsess about whether or not I can do a perfect job instead of just doing it. I look at the long road ahead of me, the amount of steps between where I am now and where I want to be, and I worry I’ll never get there. So instead of getting started, I end up doing nothing at all. I’ve done this in the past. I wanted to run for 30-days straight, but put it off for months because I was too comfortable in the bed, the weather was too cold, or too hot, or it was raining. I put off going to the gym for years becoming fat and falling for fad diets. I was worried I was too fat for the gym, worried people would laugh at my form. And then when I finally did go to the gym, I put off hiring a personal trainer for another year – again, because I was worried I’d not be regular and it would be a waste of money. I put off talking to girls for months after loading myself on every Mystery Method cold approach book, blog, and video I could get my hands on because I was terrified I’d do a poor job of literally just talking to other human beings. Pretty much every big goal I’ve ever achieved was preluded by days/weeks/months of procrastination, because I was obsessing about perfection rather than just starting. Everyone sucks, most of the time. So how’d I stop the procrastination and end up achieving things? By giving myself permission to suck. With my running, I just sat down one day, and said “Ok. Today I'm gonna start running for just 5 minutes. it's gonna do nothing to my body, but if I don’t start now I’ll never start.” With girls, I told myself “I’m going to get rejected. I’ll be nervous, anxious, I’ll probably throw up out of nervousness, I’ll forget what to say, I’ll stumble and lose my words, I’ll look like a complete creep and I’ll make a total fool of myself. No girls will like me and I’ll be a total failure. But that’s ok. I’m allowed to be shit at this, because everybody is shit when they’re first getting started.”
