My whole channel encompasses the idea of embracing imperfections. I love the saying that, "Perfectionism is Boring". Perfect can't be improved. It can't be fiddled with and changed. It is static. Imperfections are beautiful because they still have so much room for improvement. GREAT VIDEO!

"Done is better than perfect"It's crazy how much that applies to my life right now! I'm always procrastinating, even with the things I really want to do, like taking pictures and film videos. But this video really taught me something and it gave me inspiration to better mysellf. THANK YOU!

[NicoleConstante]

so true. i quit blogging two years ago and have always wanted to go back but never felt like my content would be good enough. this year i finally said "oh screw it!!" and launched my blog and im actually publishing content everyday this month. im only on day 2 and im struggling but im gonna push through!!!

This video comes at the perfect time for me. I was putting things off, because I always think "But this can be better", but I was thinking recently that I should just jump and make things happen! Thanks for the inspiration :)

This helped me SO much. That's my problem!, I always spend lots of time and effort on planning things, writing every detail, making maps, doing all this stuff that would make my project or work or whatever "perfect". And I must be real, doing it this way I never get things done. And I have no idea why I never thought that it's never going to be perfect!, and it can be just fine when it's done, but all this planning and wanting everything to be perfect just never let me finish things...

[HowToGYST]

I did something similar for my e-course last year -- announced the launch date before I had anything done bar picking the topic. I don't think I've ever worked so hard in my life! But it launched on time, and was very successful, and it showed me just how much I can get done when I put my mind to it and knuckle down. I plan on updating it and re-launching it this year. =)

As a recovering perfectionist (who never sets deadlines) I needed to hear this today! Thank you :)

[thedeslynnjaquias]

I’m glad I discovered you recently. I’m now reviewing old vids and listening to your podcast. You care to encourage others to keep moving forward. Thank you for being you.

In Spain, you have to write an investigation paper on the last year of university. I have to finish mine for May and I haven't even written a single word. Thank you. THANK YOU. I'm getting really anxious about this project and this video help me A LOT. Done is better than perfect. Done is better than perfect. I think it has to be my new motto haha xoxo

[Classycat]

My goal is to really minimize all the stuff in my life, and figure out my dreams, and life goals. I'd also like to write more. I know that if I manage my time properly I'll be able to do all of that, I just need to figure out what works for me in time management :)

[allysonlewis]

this is something I've always had a hard time with. I hate doing something if it's not perfect, and I know this really holds me back!

[lindseyslifeNstyle]

I like this way of doing things! Giving myself a deadline😀

[kristinaborskey]

For the past few years, I have been pushing myself, even when exhausted to take on more projects. So, this year is about slowing down and finishing one thing at a time. I also noticed that I have allowed others to decide for me who and what I am. Being as I was the Cinderella growing up, it was an easy thing to fall into. Therefore, this year is self-discovery, love, and healing before projects. Found this channel after a big burn out this summer and started watching playlists one at a time. It has helped a lot.

[happysparrow]

This is the best advice. Many of us are paralyzed by perfection and it holds us back from sharing our gifts with the world. I am really trying to overcome this.

[NatalieGennaoui]

I totally know how you feel. What a lot of my professors and mentors have told me is that all your work will never feel truly finished. I personally set a goal of posting one video a week. I definitely use this motto to post videos. Glad you brought up this concept!

[MalinaCC]

Kind of reminds me of the saying that goes something along the lines "you'll never run a marathon if you don't take the first step". I'm definitely guilty of trying to make everything perfect, including what I say out loud, but I'm going to work on speaking more freely!
