Your decision-making style is...
The Perfectionist
But wait! This doesn’t have to be a bad thing. You can get unstuck and make your style work for you.
You have a decision superpower!
You love completing, achieving, doing your best. YES.
But your desire to “get things right” can drive you to overthink (and over-stress).
Perfectionism is your default Decision Style, and it makes daily choices harder than they need to be.
Best news? You are 1000% capable of unleashing your Inner Decisive Self and making every choice easier!
Luckily (#notluck…you got yourself here on purpose), changing this habit is one of my specialties.
Let’s do this.
Make the most of your style
When you’re not perfectioning, you’re making thoughtful, deliberate choices.
You investigate thoroughly and go above and beyond to make things the best they can be.
You’re basically a superhero.
And you can stay that way!
When you’re at your best, your Decision Style is really Employing High Standards.
As long as you use it as a strength and not an obstacle, this can be the reason you feel great about your choices — and the results they create.
To make the most of it, notice when your high standards get you what you want.
You’ll be less inclined to let perfectionism run the show when you’re clear on how effective it really is.
When your extra efforts pay off and you’re happy with the process, acknowledge what worked.
And when you notice your high standards weren’t exactly necessary, be honest about that too.
The key to making the most of your style is to take charge of it.
Your Solution
USE THE PERFECTION SCALE
To make the most of your skill, start thinking of it that way.
A skill you can apply where you choose to.
The next time you have a choice to make, use the Perfection Scale.
Literally ask yourself “How perfect do I want this to be, on a scale from 1-10?”
And start making 10/10 the exception — not the rule.
It can take some time to get comfortable with the idea of aiming for 7 out of 10 (what is that, a B-? Ick.)
But you want to be able to give an A+ effort on purpose, when something deserves it.
When that’s the default for every single decision, it’s exhausting and unnecessary.
The next time you’re booking a vacation, say, and perfection is slowing you down — use the Perfection Scale.
If the hotel decision comes in at 9/10 but the rental car is a 2.5, congrats — you get to spend way less time and energy on that rental car now.
Once you let go of the assumption that everything that can be a 10 “should” be a 10 — you’ll feel empowered to choose when you’re happy for something to be less than perfect.
Things happen quickly when you make clear decisions.
