Do your best? Or just DO!

I've written a longer essay on my business blog Organize in Harmony called The Sour Notes of Perfectionism. In it, I relate what I'm learning in my singing class to the perfectionism I see in myself and my clients around organizing issues.

Here I'll distill that thought....

We often hear people say "Just do your best." Well, I've come to realize that I get stuck on the "best" part and can't get to the "do." If I can't do it "right" or whatever I think right is, I don't want it to be seen, heard, read, whatever.

I'd like to change that to "Just do." (I know, it's awfully close to who-know-who's "Just do it" campaign.)

Just do. Do, even if it's imperfect. Do, even if it's not your best. Just do. Just start, just do and go from there.

Find your comfort around being imperfect, about being human, about being normal. (Whatever that is!)
