    The skill is to know the difference between when to create something that is "workable" and when to put the effort into making something "perfect". Newbie RUclipsrs like myself can gain a lot from your Skillshare course btw....Top stuff Anas.

    Bro wth, I started tearing up in the middle of the video when he started describing the bad type of perfectionism. It's like he saw right through me... I have a big problem with my perfectionism affecting my studies, specifically turning in assignments late resulting in my teachers marking down my projects that would have otherwise gotten perfects scores. I know it may sound like I am bragging, but for me, the problem isn't getting good grades but just turning in stuff on time and not falling behind. For example, I am currently almost five weeks behind on turning in assignments for an honors class because I don't even stop to procrastinate but instead just completely skip that and immediately just distract myself, knowingly, from doing anything related to that class because I am probably too afraid of the possible negative outcome. Thank you for doing this video! It has made me realize a lot about myself that I otherwise would have looked over.
