Get to ‘Done’ by Escaping the Dangers of Perfectionism

Simultaneously optimizing productivity and innovation is the Holy Grail of success, but there’s one obstacle in plain sight that gets missed all the time: perfectionism. In fact, many people incorrectly think perfectionism is helpful, but it’s actually one of the biggest killers of efficiency and creativity (think of perfectionism as a finger trap). Join Dr. Greg Chasson—Associate Professor at the University of Chicago, clinical psychologist, and decidedly imperfect human (just ask his wife)—for his engaging and powerful program on failing forward and fighting perfectionism. By challenging perfectionism, you not only will benefit from improved productivity and innovation, but also experience less procrastination, and improved mental health.

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. It’s a misconception that perfectionism is healthy and good; perfectionism is not your friend.
2. Perfectionism is unhealthy and causes suffering and impairment.
3. Practice Dr. Chasson’s ‘Fail Forward Framework’ to get unstuck from perfectionism.
