Learn to control my perfectionist attitude

I often take extra time making things just perfect. Most everything I redo until I’m completely satisfied with the results. (The only exception to this is with cleaning; I’m quite satisfied with my messy room.) Even low-point essays that mean next to nothing must be exceptional. I’m thankful that I do this automatically. It does not hurt my grades a bit, nor does it negatively effect my artistic endeavors. I do wish to learn to be in control of this. It is especially disabling when I am working on a deadline. I would rather get half of the project done perfectly, than the entire project done at mediocre quality. I think I would be a better person were I to acheive this goal.
