\nPerfection vs Perfunctory \u2013 Which Is Better?<\/strong>

\"\"<\/a>
Today's question comes from Lauren McCabe, Mermaid Chronicles<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThis is what I compare my perfectionist tendencies to: a pond on a \u00a0beautiful day. The clouds shine, the water shimmers, and \u00a0as I wade around and around in this beautiful, stagnant hole I go absolutely nowhere.
\nThis is what I compare my perfunctory tendencies to: a wild, racing river. The water rushes down crags, water falls, and valleys. It pours and roars, moving fast, onward through the next \u00a0wild piece of land, going everywhere.
\nPerfectionism is about staying back, \u00a0revisiting and revising.
\nPerfunctory is pushing forward, doing what needs to get done simply, mechanically so you can go and go and go.
\nPerfection is at the top of the charts, being perfunctory is somewhere in the middle.
\nThis is my question: How do you balance perfection with getting things done? Is it better to be perfect or perfunctory? What do you think?<\/strong>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
