Perfectionism Kills Productivity And Opportunities

It’s better to just do it instead of waiting for the perfect conditions.

I missed yesterday’s blog post here at Medium and the reason wasn’t “lack of time” or “energy.”

I got up super early yesterday and read. I was planning out what I wanted to do today.

There were lots of things.

First, I wanted to continue doing my Vert Shock training program and record my brother and my progress for the last few weeks.

Then I wanted to go to our nearby recreation center, get some clips of us jump smashing and play some badminton.

Then I was to come back home, make a video about our vertical jump increase and upload it to YouTube.

After I uploaded a video to YouTube, I was supposed to help my dad with some AutoCAD drafting.

And finally, I would write a Medium blog post talking about uploading my second YouTube video and the first YouTube video that included my face in it.

Of course, things never go as planned.

I had no underwear for the first half of my day. I forgot to do my laundry!

All the washing and drying took about 4 hours, in which we had already eaten breakfast and lunch.
