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 like messier pages and I put washi tape over mistakes. Plus I use a binder system so if I really needed, I could take a page out. I do have a favorite useless spread/collection. I wanted to track how many uses I got out of a solid shampoo bar and I thought it would be a big number I couldn't keep track of in my head, so I made a page. Supposedly it was supposed to last 90 hair shampoos, but it only lasted, like, 14, so I ended up with a super empty page. I don't care what it looks like so there's splatters from another page on it, lol.
