10 Ways You Waste Your Own Time
Being a perfectionist
Perfectionism is one of the biggest time wasters. If you’re someone who proofreads every email you send five times before sending off, changing tiny details, and even having a roommate or partner look it over too, you’re probably a perfectionist. If you spend two hours making a flier that could have taken 30 minutes because you keep adjusting the spacing or coloring or font just so, you’re probably a perfectionist. With many things, it’s worth asking yourself, “If I were looking at this with fresh eyes, as an outsider, would I notice these details? Would I even be aware of the other possible versions of this?” (The answer is always “No.”)
