Jennifer Gardner shares how perfectionism plays into her life and work as a lawyer, podcaster and artist and how she almost quit her making creative work as a result. http://roamhowl.com/011 "I came down with a strong case of 'someday syndrome' -- someday I'll finish this project or that project and then I'll put it out in the world, but 'someday' never came because I was waiting for it to be perfect." ~Jennifer Gardner I've been practicing law for a very long time in a market that is very competitive and I compete. Somehow, somewhere along the line, I got the idea that it did not matter what I did, how hard I worked, how much I learned, that I would never be good enough. What is strange about this idea is how it persists even though, by all objective measurements, I've been pretty successful. "There seems to be a disconnect between all this good stuff and how I feel about work." ~Jennifer Gardner on professional success Hear more about...
