The Perfectionism Trap
The killer of creativity sometimes comes with the best of intentions.
Perfectionism is not a strength, but a shield, a defense mechanism developed to protect against failure and judgment. And this shield prevents the work from getting out. The first draft of Toy Story was described as one of the worst films ever seen in the studio's history. It ended up winning an Oscar.
