How does one get rid of perfectionism especially perfectionism caused by ADHD?

Questions/Advice

As we are nearing the new year i would love to get some fresh insights!

I'm a 26 M and wanting to get better each day but i've noticed that my perfectionism causes me to drag stuff and procrastinate. I wish to do better next year. Does anyone have any tips?

A good insight i have had was one during a coaching that i should stop reaching for tools. And just cut out of the loop. Ironically i told the coach. "Then that is my TOOL. A scissor. To cut through the loop and actually do what needs to be done."

This insight has helped a lot but idk i still feel like something is missing.
