Exposure help - work task related

ERP help wanted

Need help coming up with baby step exposures for things I’m struggling with at work.

Currently, I do a lot of avoidance of work tasks, with my concern being am I wrong? Which has me put things off and completely ignore.

I also have to write things. And I end up rereading/rewriting if I wrote it the best way, if I’m saying the right things, if I’m missing something, if I’m wrong. I can end up asking for reassurance as well.

Obviously, some of that is going to be normal for doing your job correctly, but it’s definitely too much, esp. the avoidance.

I’m struggling with exposure ideas that isnt the polar opposite being “don’t reread” or “just do it” which honestly I physically can’t. Ideas?
