How did you get over the perfectionism?

Questions/Advice

Hey all!

I realized recently that I’m not lazy, or don’t have motivation problems. But for the most part, I’m not striving for big things. It’s like, I want to write a book, I outline it, know that I’ll need some research for one or two parts, but ultimately don’t even start for fear that it won’t be perfect. (Of course it won’t be perfect, I’m new to writing books!!!!)

So I just don’t do it. Anyone else experience this type of perfectionism wall block? And how did you get over it?
