Happy New Year! As we kick off the new year with a fresh season of possibilities and clean, blank calendar pages, the pressure to make “just right” choices can trip us up in our careers and personal lives, or even when managing our week. So, today, I’m discussing the myth of the “perfect choice.”
I’m taking a close look at how perfectionism and procrastination go hand in hand, keeping us from taking action. I’ll share my honest experiences and a practical framework to help you break out of analysis paralysis, with a gentle reminder that progress happens when we act, not when we wait for certainty—it’s movement, not perfection, that creates clarity and momentum.
Plus, I have a free live workshop lined up to help you reclaim your week. Let’s make this your year of progress, one bold decision at a time!
