0Tips | Perfectionist: Lowering Your Standards Can Improve Your Mental Health'
Women can be especially susceptible to the slippery path of perfectionism. A term coined by Patrick Gaudreau. professor of psychology at the University of Ottawa. excellence refers to setting high standards. but not beating yourself up when you don't meet them. supremacism takes the best parts of perfectionism and discards the toxic parts. the input of time and energy increases. the output of success also increases proportionally.It's not just the quantity of effort that matters.So does the quality.That's why.whether it is writing a story or doing something perhaps a little more boring. such as proofreading. perfectionists produce a lower quality of work than they are truly capable of. perfectionists take longer than non perfectionists on repetitive or boring tasks. creating a lot of inaccuracies c and work less efficiently. They don't get stuck on the tiresome wheel of perfection and are ultimately more likely to achieve goals and solve tough problems in creative ways than their perfectionist peers.'
