Although sometimes it may seem like it, no one is perfect.雖然有時候看起來它可能像是它,沒有人是十全十美的。 Everyone makes mistakes and has at least a few faults.每個人都會犯錯誤,並已至少有幾個缺點。 And while it may seem like a noble goal, striving to be a perfectionist in your work or personal life can actually be more of a hindrance than a help in making you successful.雖然看起來它可能像是一個崇高的目標,努力成為一個完美主義在你的工作或個人生活其實是可以更多的是幫倒忙幫助,使你成功。 Focusing on making every detail perfect can end up making you get less done, not to mention leave you in a constant state of anxiety.重點在於使每一個細節的完美,可最終使你少做了,更遑論離開,你在一個恆定狀態焦慮。 These are a few ways you can stop worrying so much about being perfect, enjoy your work, and still get plenty done in a day.這些都是幾個方法,你可以不用擔心這麼多,正在完美的,享受你的工作,並仍然得到不少做一兩天。

1. 1 。 Set realistic expectations. While it might be wonderful to finish your current project, start another, get new clients and keep up with all your household chores, the reality is that expectations like that aren’t always realistic. 一套切合實際的期望,雖然它可能是奇妙完成你的當前項目,再掀,獲取新的客戶並保持與您所有的家務,但實際情況是期望一樣,並不總是切合實際的。 There’s no sense in making yourself feel bad by setting yourself up to fail.還有的是沒有意義的,使自己感覺不好,由你自己設定了失敗。 You don’t have to be perfect to be productive, so give yourself expectations that are something you can actual accomplish, you can always add on more later if you get ahead of schedule.你不一定要十全十美,以建設性的工作,所以給自己的期望,這是一個你可以實際做到的,您可以隨時補充更長時間之後,如果你得到原計劃提前了。

Striving for excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing. ~Harriet Braiker追求卓越的動力,你們追求完美是士氣低落。 〜的Harriet braiker

2. 2 。 Give yourself credit. When you set goals for yourself, it’s easy to let yourself concentrate on the things that you haven’t accomplished instead of those you have gotten done. 給自己的信用,當你確定了目標,為自己,也很容易讓自己集中精力的事情,你還沒有完成,而不是那些你得到的工作要做。 Give yourself some credit for the milestones and small parts of projects that you get done along the way.給自己一些信貸為發展目標,以及小部分的項目,你做了一路。

3. 3 。 Accept that you will make mistakes. While it might be hard for the true perfectionists out there, you can get a lot more done if you recognize that no matter what it is you’re doing, there are going to be some mistakes that you’ll make along the way. 接受你們會做出錯誤的同時,它可能也難以真正完美主義那裡,你可以得到很多做更多的事,如果你認識到,不管發生什麼,這是你在做的,有去有一些錯誤,你'當地僱員,使在前進的道路上。 Accept this, and use these as valuable learning experiences to be better in the future instead of beating yourself up over them.接受此條款,並利用這些寶貴的學習經驗,以更好地在未來而不是打自己起來的。

4. 4 。 Ask for help. Though you might feel it’sa blow to your pride, asking for help doesn’t make you weak or incompetent. 尋求幫助,雖然你可能覺得這是打擊,你的自豪,請求幫助並不令你太軟弱或無能。 Sometimes having an outside perspective or a little extra help can make all the difference.有時候,有一個局外者,或一點點額外的幫助,可以使所有差別。

5. 5 。 Focus on the present. It can be easy to get caught up in worrying about past mistakes or things that are looming in the future that may never even happen. 著眼於現在,它可以很容易就會被擔心過去的錯誤或事情都籠罩在將來可能甚至從來沒有發生。 Instead of trying to perfect your past and future, concentrate on doing what you need to do now to make yourself happy or get more work done.而不是試圖以完美的過去與未來,專注於做什麼,你現在需要做的,使自己快樂或得到更多的工作。

6. 6 。 Just get it done. Getting things done perfectly is great, but just getting them done period isn’t too bad either. 拿來做事情做得完美,是偉大的,而只是讓他們做期不算太差。 Focus more on the action of getting things done instead of putting so much effort into worrying about doing each thing perfectly.更多地側重於行動的事情做,反而把那麼多的努力,到不用擔心做的事,每一個完美的。

7. 7 。 Relax. When you tense up because you’re worried or nervous about being less than perfect, you can make work a completely miserable and stressful experience. 放鬆的時候,你緊張了,因為你擔心或緊張少於完美的,你可以在工作中完全可憐,沒有壓力的經驗。 Just relax instead.剛剛放寬。 Even if things don’t turn out perfectly, chances are good that things won’t be nearly as bad as you imagine.即使事情,不要把出完美的,機會是很好的事情,不會有近差勁,你可以想像。

8. 8 。 Focus on the big picture. Perfectionists tend to focus on the little details, nitpicking every tiny aspect of a project, making it take much longer than it should. 著眼於全局的大事。完美主義傾向集中於細節,因此, nitpicking每一個細小環節的一個項目,使花費更長的比它應該的。 Let go of the small things so you can focus on the bigger aspects of your projects.放手的小東西,使您可以專注於更大的方面,你的項目。

9. 9 。 Give yourself permission. It can be hard to stop looking at things through the eyes of a perfectionist. 給自己的許可,它可以努力阻止這些看事情透過眼睛一個完美主義者。 You can start by giving yourself permission to be less than perfect and stop thinking of yourself as a failure when you don’t meet your own expectations.你就可以開始讓自己的許可,以不少於完善並停止思考自己作為一個失敗的時候,您不符合自己的期望。

10. 10 。 Silence your inner critic. That nagging voice inside your head that tells you your work isn’t good enough can drive you to work harder, but it can also drive you crazy trying to achieve impossible perfection. 沉默,你內心評論家認為,惱人的聲音裡面你的頭上這將告訴你在你的工作是不夠好,可以帶動你努力地工作,但它也可以驅動你瘋啦試圖達到的,不可能盡善盡美。 Replace those negative comments with with positive encouragement instead.取代那些負面的評論,與正面的鼓勵,而不是。

11. 11 。 Realize that someone can always find fault. You could spend hours tweaking a design, website or paper and no matter how much you do to it, someone can still come along and find fault. 意識到有人總能找到故障,你可以花上數小時扭捏設計,網頁或文件,也不管多少錢,你這樣做的話,有人仍然可以到達並找到故障。 Everyone’s idea of perfection is different, so understand that no matter how perfect you make something it will never be safe from criticism.每個人的想法完美的是不一樣的,因此明白,無論你如何完美,使你的東西,它永遠不會是安全的批評。 Realize this and you’ll be more willing to give yourself a bit of a break.認識到這一點,你會更願意給自己一點休息。

12. 12 。 Use it as a motivational tool. Perfectionism doesn’t have to be totally bad. 用它作為激勵的工具。完美主義並不一定完全不好。 Sometimes it can be a great motivational tool in pushing you forward.有時它可以是一個很大的激勵工具,在推動你前進。 The trick is knowing where to draw the line between productive thinking and destructive thinking.訣竅在於不知從何之間劃一條線生產的思想和破壞性思維。 If you find your work making you more miserable than happy, then chances are you’ve crossed the line and need to take a step back.如果你發現你的工作,為使你更加悲慘,比快樂,然後機會,你是否已經越過球門線,以及需要採取的一個步驟。

13. 13 。 Stop comparing yourself to others. It’s fine to have someone to look up to, but constantly comparing yourself to others can ultimately be self destructive behavior. 一站式比較自己對他人的,它的優良有有人照顧了,但不斷比較自己對他人的,可最終將出現自我毀滅的行為。 Do the best you can do, not the best someone else can do.盡最大努力,你可以做的,而不是最好的別人可以做的。

14. 14 。 Don’t overanalyze. Planning, preparation, and going over your work can be good things, but when you start overanalyzing things to the point that you don’t get started or finished with anything is counterproductive. 不overanalyze 。策劃,準備,並打算超過你的工作能不能真正得到好的東西,但是當你開始overanalyzing事情到如此地步,你不啟動或成品的東西,是起反作用。 Remember that it doesn’t matter how great something is if it’s only half done.記住,它不不管你多麼偉大的事情,如果這只是完成了一半。

15. 15 。 Lighten up. Your work may not be a joke but that doesn’t mean you have to treat it as a humorless endeavor. 減輕了,你的工作可能不會是一個笑話,但是,這並不意味著你必須把它當作humorless奮鬥。 Lighten up and you will be less willing to get bogged down in making everything perfect.減輕了,你會不太願意深陷在作出一切都十全十美的。

16. 16 。 Learn to take criticism. No matter how perfect your work may seem, you’ll likely get some amount of criticism from users or clients. 學習採取的批評,不管如何完善你的工作似乎是,你將有可能獲得一定金額的批評,由用戶或客戶。 Learn to take these kind of comments as ways to make your work better, not as attacks on you personally.學習採取這類評論的方式,以使你的工作更好,而不是作為攻擊對你個人。

17. 17 。 Stop procrastinating. Though it might seem odd, perfectionism can often lead to procrastination. 不要一拖再拖,雖然它可能看起來有些奇怪,完美主義往往可能導致拖延。 If you find yourself reluctant to start projects until you can do them just right or until you have the perfect idea you’re likely letting your perfectionism get in the way of getting things accomplished.如果你發現自己不願意啟動項目,直到你可以做他們恰恰好,或直到你有完美的想法,你就有可能讓你的完美主義取得的方式把事情完成。 Just get started, you can always go back and revise later if you don’t like what you’ve gotten done.剛開始,你可以隨時返回修改後,如果你不喜歡什麼,接著做了。

Taming your inner perfectionist can be a long and hard fought battle, but it can be worth it in the end if you feel better both about your work and yourself.馴服你的內在要求完美可以是一個漫長和艱苦的戰鬥中,但可以值得的,在年底前,如果你感覺好雙方關於你的工作和你自己。 You’ll avoid loads of frustration, self imposed guilt trips, and maybe even get more done.你會避免負載的沮喪,自我施加的罪惡感人次,並且極有可能獲得更多的工作要做。
