Tough-love advice goes viral: 'perfectionism' is often just laziness and phone addiction
moonsandhues · x · 2026-10-24
A reposted Q&A screenshot offers blunt advice on beating procrastination and perfectionism when starting creative projects: stop flattering yourself with the word "perfectionism" and admit you're just lazy, phone-addicted, and habitual — things improve once you do. The reasons we give ourselves for not creating are too kind.
The kicker: do you want your 12th-grade teacher to be right about you? Do you want to look back on a life of TikTok videos instead of inspired work? No — so get up and make stuff even if it sucks for the first few tries.
