Perfectionism is a Loser’s Strategy

“reflecting on my own experience of perfectionism as an author: I’m perfectionist whenever I don’t have sufficient clarity about what I’m really trying to say. If I know what I really want to say, my work can be successful despite its imperfections” (source tweet)
