Wellness Articles How to Manage Your Perfectionism Perfectionism is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it can motivate you to perform at a high level and deliver top-quality work. On the other, it can cause you unnecessary anxiety and sometimes annoy your colleagues. How can you harness the positives of your perfectionism while mitigating the negatives? Start by recognizing the opportunity cost of your behavior. Sure, you can spend an additional five hours making that PowerPoint presentation perfect, but is that a productive use of your time? Will it make a material difference to your boss or client? Focus on maximizing the impact of your effort so you can concentrate on what’s important. Similarly, learn to calibrate your standards. Of course, as a perfectionist you’re never going to aim for merely adequate — nor should you. But the next time you find yourself nitpicking niggling details, ask a trusted colleague for feedback. You may discover that your first draft is already good enough.

How to Develop Self-Discipline and Find Motivation Self-discipline involves controlling your impulses and emotions in order to better yourself.

This will help you get ahead of bad habits. Pick out a mantra or quote about self-discipline to help you stay motivated.

Remote work also did a lot for promoting inclusivity and supporting individuals with disabilities.
