Set More Reasonable Goals

Because people hold themselves to unrealistic standards, perfectionists sometimes establish goals that are unachievable. Setting more realistic and SMART objectives is one technique to overcome perfectionism.

When your objectives are achievable and in a healthy way challenging, you will experience significantly less stress and greater confidence in your ability to accomplish them. To make your biggest objectives more achievable, try breaking them down into smaller pieces. However, be honest with yourself about how much you can actually do in a particular time frame. One practical tip is to start your day with simpler duties and work your way up. As you check things off the to-do list, this helps you feel more confident.
