The Perfectionism Journal
Trade perfect for done.
For people who over-edit, over-think, put things off for fear of getting them wrong, or tie their worth to their output. Thirty days of deliberately good-enough practice, logged, so you can see what actually happens when you stop at done.
Four moves, repeated until they add up.
- 01Sign the Severance Agreement
The standard you are putting down, in writing.
- 02Find your traps
Where perfectionism costs you most, before you start.
- 03Log one good-enough act
Each day: what you finished at good enough, and what happened next.
- 04Review the week
Four weekly reviews, then a closing progress page.

Supports personal reflection. It is not therapy, medical advice or a substitute for professional support. If perfectionism comes with an eating or body-image difficulty, a GP or a qualified therapist can help in a way a journal cannot.
