I was kinda perfectionist all my life & at 21, married a guy who was "half-@$$ed" at everything. It was at that point I realized that even if I strived for perfection & missed, I was going to come a lot closer to being better than just good or below average that striving to be "half-@$$ed" got you. What really irritated me was when I asked him to do something I needed done & got "half-@$$" results that made my work harder. Guess that is exactly why I have learned to do so many things for myself. Sometimes getting started takes awhile but I find it is so much simpler than I originally think when starting a project
