Imposter syndrome held me back, so I created an app to break the cycle
For quite some time now, I've been struggling with my own impostor syndrome. Every time I manage to complete something or get some sort of compliment, a voice in my head tells me that I'm only lucky and don't actually get anything.
The thing is aggravated by my perfectionist nature – I keep polishing everything to death. So, the result of this constant need to do something better is procrastination, which makes a never-ending circle.
I can't enjoy any success since I'm waiting for that perfect version of my achievements all the time.
That's why I've made a tool that I would want to have a while back. It helps me to record all my successes, ignore the voice in my head and give me the facts.
It's called Imposter Syndrome Hacks. It's not that smart. But it's sincere.
If you are having a trouble with it and waiting to be exposed as an impostor, remember that it doesn't happen to you only.
And I'm sharing it with you because I'm sure you can relate to creating things on your own.
If it is something that you struggle with, it might help you:
