Getting past freeze and perfectionism can be easier than you think

Does this sound familiar: you need to start a paper but you stare at the blank page and then keep writing and deleting the first sentence. Or you have a draft that you need to pass onto your team for feedback but really it would be much better if you just stayed up for a few more hours and obsessively edited it. There are a lot of scenarios in our STEM work that put us in freeze or perfectionism cycles. I’ve been there and still find myself there more often than I’d like! So today I’m sharing one simple framework that helps me shake off the freezing or perfecting to keep moving forward. If you want to hang out and do the 30 day challenge… let’s do it!
