Very much to the point, this Law of Parkinson's. I suffered a lot since my high school years, especially with book reviews, reports and similar. Perfectionism and procrastination played their role, and there was little guidance to do otherwise... But then I started saying No! to certain demands for time and also put the Eisenhower Matrix into practice ! You know importance verses urgency. But still in the recent run for trying to "write online every day" I could not allocate my time well. Well, it turns out I was mis-judging the "importance" of many tasks! I am not a morning person and rearranging my daily tasks, it seems I can reserve 16:00-18:00 during work days for my writing spree. Woww, thanks for your kind musings on the subject. It really helped.
Thanks for sharing these insights figen. Your story has some familiar elements and well done for being able to say no and experiment with your tasks, approach and timetable. This is what it's about and I'm so glad you found this helpful. We all learn from each other! ❤️
Love this Sabrina! The 'done is better than perfect' is, as a perfectionist, going to be my new mantra. The quality of what you wrote in that time is phenomenal - you go girl!! 50 claps! (sorry I know this isn't Medium but the heart for a like just doesn't always cut it here on Sub!)
Ha thanks for your 50 claps even if it's not medium. That means so much on this writing journey. I'm looking forward to experimenting more with this approach and keep learning/ sharing. Definitely keep doing and things will feel better each time ❤️
