I try not to beat myself down when I goof, but try to fix it and apologize. More times than not, those around me forgive me and this has helped me be more forgiving of myself.

i don't have much of a problem with perfectionism at work (graphics) because i understand the quality vs time vs money triangle. i do have high standards, higher than most at work which may be a reason i am no longer being asked to do work for them (wasn't an *** about it, just saw quality over time with new manager decrease).
my biggest perfectionism is with model building though i have talked with some folks and have decided every mode.l is not a competition piece and, when it no longemr is, it becomes a learning piece. still have high standards but much calmer about it and probably judge. my work harder than my peers.
