...See more Can anyone please assure me that everything's gonna be alright? I'm trying to tell that to myself but my heart and mind just doesn't believe me anymore. My heart's beating so fast and my mind can't focus on the task in front of me right now. I think it would calm my heart and mind if someone tells me instead. Thank you guys...

I can't overcome my perfectionism, so i can't start an urgent work

...See more I've been doing a planning for a certain project at work, and it's due date is tomorrow. I've been working on the plan for 3 weeks now. My resolve to do my work is truly genuine--​​I really wanted to complete this, but my perfectionism is something that I can't overcome easily. Most of the days in those 3 weeks were honestly not productive because I always felt I am incapable of doing or starting something that I have very little experience on. It's a new task for me, I know, but it's something I studied for in college and I know that I have more than enough capability of creating a plan for this great project. I have lead some committees before, I've planned and organized events before, so this isn't really a difficult stretch for me, but I think those experiences made my perfectionism stronger. I can finish this work for a night or two of serious dedication, like what I thought yesterday, the day before it or the week before it, but I fear that I will just create crap that will take time to edit or modify later, or all of these things may be needed to be scrapped altogether. Because of this, I can't start my work I'm supposed to be doing earlier today. Please help me sort my feelings out.
