I have been accused of being a perfectionist, but I am not.
I like to do a nice job and give 100%. I feel guilt over my failures and inadequacies, for me, everything must be perfect."
Housecleaning is a task with little tangible reward. Unless you're doing it for Someone else, there is no paycheck, no pat on the back, and no finish line. The dishes are never completely done. There are clothes in the dryer to fold and put away. Even when the surface looks fine, you know that refrigerator could use a good cleaning.
I fight the tendency toward perfectionism because I know - perfection is unattainable.
In housekeeping, perhaps more than anywhere else, perfection is unattainable. |
