Judy Dang: Precision and Productivity, Not Perfectionism

Episode Summary

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Judy Dang discuss: Moving past the perils of perfectionism. Embracing imperfection and being open to failures. Findings from Judy’s upcoming book, Perfect Enough. Getting comfortable with precision, not perfection. Key Takeaways: You are successful despite your perfectionism, not because of it. Perfectionists tend to be more motivated and engaged at work, however, the disadvantages far outweigh those positives - burnout, anxiety, and depression among them. There is a difference between healthy striving and perfectionism. Most of the tasks you do can be judged by pass or fail, rather than a specific grade. Not everything needs to be done to absolute perfection. "Perfectionism is rooted in a fear, failure, and feelings of inadequacy." —  Judy Dang Connect with Judy Dang:  Website: https://avidatwork.com/ Book: https://avidatwork.com/book/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/judydang/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD63K-Jy8ZeKOd0pJSZraKQ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/judydangsf Thank you to our Sponsors!
