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 have a book I test layouts in, but if I've stuffed it my main trick it to print a colouring book page onto sticker paper, cut to size, and BOOM! Covers up most boo-boos.

I have a zentangling lay-out that I just didn't use at all; I prefer '100 ways to see'.
