Are you too much of a perfectionist for good enough?

Is accepting doing good enough selling yourself short?

When is it acceptable to accept good enough is good enough?

It's good enough when you can say you've done your best. Or when you're having a lazy/foot off the gas day and accept good enough is your standard of the day.

Perfectionist here who's learned when to give oneself a break sometimes

Yes with my work but I can relax a bit when it's personal stuff.

Does it feel like relaxation to let go of the perfection?

I'm definitely not a perfectionist. I will do the best I can, but I won't lose sleep if its not the best that can be done.

Not really, I have to force myself a bit

Time and value. Is the value created worth the time, effort and loss of other potential value to create whatever it is. As soon as the answer becomes no - it's good enough. There is also the issue of timeliness. If it is timely and the quality appropriate it is good enough.

How to decide that is more of a challenge and always a value judgement no matter what measurement we use. If it feels right for me that's good enough (that almost always takes into account of others' perspectives).

I'm not a perfectionist as I prefer the perfection of imperfection

Thanks for that - I like it.
