stop overcorrecting

Is Perfectionism Slowing you Down?

Picture this.

You finally — finally — sit down to write that email to your child's teacher.

You're locked in. Focused. This is happening!

"Dear Morah Sara," is easy enough, but then you start overthinking and the next paragraph takes 12 revisions because you hate confrontation.

You think Chat GPT will help but it spits back three options and you don't know which one to go with. Your anxiety is through the roof, but you push on, because you know how important this is to your child.

And then just as you're about to hit "send" you delete it all and start over from a different angle, "because maybe I was being too harsh and not thanking the teacher enough for all her effort...?"

Two hours later you're more behind than when you started and you're feeling exhausted, frustrated and so annoyed with yourself.

Sound familiar?

Here's what's going on:

💡You're always short on time because ADHDers are often secret perfectionists.

Every memory of not feeling good enough, every embarrassing typo, every "I can't believe I forgot that" has stacked up, so this time you overcorrect and tell yourself you've "got to get it right!"

So you plug away and lose so much of your day.

But here's the thing. You're so good in so many areas of your life. And when you stop beating yourself up for not getting everything perfect, you'll let your true, G-d given talents shine and finally feel good about yourself instead of "not normal".

With this new confidence, you'll be able to contribute more of your true self to your community and your family.

You deserve way better than beating yourself up for being a perfectionist.

And there is a way out that's more nuanced than the accepted blah, blah "just lower your standards."...

When we work together, I show you how to get things done more quickly, without getting sucked into perfectionism.

I teach you how to prioritize your family, your significant relationships and YOU; and how to let go at "good enough" for all the rest.

Like making sure to feed yourself something nutritious before the kids get home so you can greet them with a smile when they walk through the door.

That's what prioritizing looks like.

Imagine knowing what "done" looks like for every task, and actually getting there in the time you have available.

When you're ready for that kind of peace of mind, book a complimentary breakthrough call. Together we'll pinpoint the ADHD patterns keeping you stuck, and map out your real next steps — then we'll decide together if ongoing support makes sense.
