What Lessons Have You Learned?

[inkstone]

I don't know about you, but I'm prone to bouts of perfectionism. "Oh no! I misspelled a word in the page header! I have to rip out the page!" Things like that. In my defense, I've gotten over this, but it was bad in the beginning.

Or even better, I come up for this awesome spread that I intend to use for this Important Collection^tm...that I completely forget about. This possibly has happened to me more than once.

So I was wondering if any of you have had similar experiences? Did you create a tracker or collection that you never use? If you suffer from perfectionism, how do you combat those impulses? Let's chat.

I learned to stop trying to make cute headers and illustrations; it takes more time than I'm willing to offer, and I end up rushing and it looks ugly etc etc etc

I think I tried maybe four or five different weekly spreads before I found one I was happy with. My first bujo doesn't look very pretty, but it's fun to look over it just to see the improvements happening over time *g*
