Sorry I took a while to respond. Are you asking about advice re:procrastination or perfectionism?
She didn't dwell on procrastination, other than noting the link. She did give a lot of good information on perfectionism. She recommended reading the chapter on perfectionism in the book "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burn. I haven't done so yet (procrastination). I took a lot of notes. If it is advice on perfectionism you are seeking, I will look for it. I leave everything laying around and piling up til we are having company. Then I stash everything in sight into drawers, cabinets, closets, never to be found again. A maddening habit. But I think I can dig up my notes if you meant perfectionism, not procrastination.> Jenny, your post makes sense to me, too. In fact, I often call myself, "the lazy perfectionist", because perfectionism is the primary reason that I procrastinate! Can you list any of the *ways* that the workshop suggested to overcome this problem? I would really appreciate it. Best wishes! CarolAnn
