Well, I am quite the opposite. I am a mess in all aspects of my life. And I want to emphasize the fact that no, it isn't fun. Not at least when your wife says that the lightbulb from the bathroom is broken since 2 weeks. :)
In between is always the sweet spot. But how do we fight our emotional / genetical make-up?
Hmmm...interesting perspective. I don’t see perfectionism as the opposite of procrastination or negligence or being “a mess” 😄 In fact, they both often overlap and produce the same results. Or possibly more specifically, I am talking about a cause and you are describing an effect. So I guess first I’d ask you why you do - or don’t do - what you do?
I also see these as habits. Nurture more than nature. So IMO, DOing is the remedy in both instances.
Balance, middle ground, harmony...all good things. I agree. But the older I get, the more I realize that you cannot find them, you gotta create them.
