Am I a perfectionist?

Sunday, April 10th, 2005

I suspect I might be a perfectionist.

Everytime I get near completing a script, project, whatever, I tend to find something that can in some way be improved. And before I know it, I find myself actually improving it.

It’s not even that I notice myself finding something that can be improved. Otherwise I’d just say ‘Screw it’ and leave it alone. Rather, I’ll suddenly find myself rewriting some part of a project thinking ‘Why am I doing this? I should’ve left it alone’. But by then I’ve already put so much time and effort into it, I’m surely not going to throw away all those changes.

Take PROMS for instance. I was supposed to release it somewhere last week or something. I just noticed myself rewriting the setup tool from scratch because the interfacing wasn’t quite up to par. *sigh*

I really need to learn to just let go. Oh well..
