<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Procrastination and Perfectionism are two sides of the same coin! Both these phenomena are largely subconscious. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to detect procrastination and perfectionism in us. And it can get even more elusive to see the link between the two. Well, to put it simply, it can be very hard for us to get anything done if it HAS to be done perfectly! </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s episode, Malorie talks about the connection between procrastination and perfectionism.
