And then number seven was letting go of perfectionism.

Let's just be real.

Perfectionism isn't excellence.

We're not like elitist and like, oh my gosh, I'm so amazing because I'm a perfectionist.

Perfectionism isn't excellence at all.

It's fear that's in a fancy outfit.

It's fear of judgment or fear of failure or fear of not being enough or fear of being judged or other people's opinions wrapped in productivity and to-do lists and more things that need to be done before I actually do what I'm supposed to do or before I finish this thing.

But really what it comes down to is done is better than perfect.

And done imperfectly is what actually builds the dream life that you want.

The goal isn't to be flawless.

The goal is to take action.

The goal is to create momentum.

The goal is completing what it is I need to do so I can move on to the next thing that I need to do.

And every time that I choose progress over perfection, I move forward in some sort of way.

Even if it was messy, even if I cringe later, even if it looks like shit, even if I doubted myself.

And so try to release being perfect and just try to be more real.

Say, I'm just gonna try to complete things versus trying to make everything perfect.

And so I want you to understand like this is, these seven habits, they didn't just like make me more productive.

and all of that.

They did in some way, but more than anything else, they absolutely changed my life.
