Done is better than perfect, or worse Not even started

So I am a bit of perfectionist. I have to put my best work forward and know that it is my best and that I have done all in my control to make sure it happens.It being whatever I am working on that moment.

But sometimes this causes a problem. A big problem. The problem is that I worry so much about it being perfect I do not even start on it. I am talking about like not even writing down what is in my head running around cause I think its not good enough.

So to counter this I have started just writing and then typing something anything. Its normally not as bad as I think it it or if it bad that is why I edit it. But just writing it down and getting started is the best feeling ever.

This is the technique I have been using in my internship application process because its hard and boring and I don’t want to do it. I would rather be researching for my Senior Thesis or my teacher but I have to get this done if I want to pursue my dreams. So here's to be jumping the gun and just starting. I have been doing this all weekend and I have actually gotten somewhere, its an awesome feeling to know that you are doing all that you can to pursue your goals and not really letting anything stop you, that includes yourself.
