Thanks, my boss is very understanding and forgiving of my mistakes. It's just me who is not forgiving of myself. I definitely need to work on my perfectionism as it is getting out of control in other areas of my life too. Thank you for the reminder that I need to try not to beat myself up over this.

I think it just takes time and constantly reminding yourself that no-one is perfect - we all make mistakes. But that's ok. What's important is how you recover - admit fault, help to fix the problem and try to learn from the experience. It doesn't mean that you won't make other mistakes or even not make the same mistake again but in time you learn other ways of completing the task.
Try not to beat yourself up Mistakes happen and most bosses are very understanding with that. It's not failing. |
