Insistence

Small problems that are not easy to solve, but bother us enough to trap our attention into them for long periods of time. Longer enough to make you question your productivity.

Being a perfectionist helps you to stay trapped into that hell even longer than a normal person. Or it can also make you more perfectionist over time.

More than that, your time is consumed into the activity of being concern with that little issue and focus only on it, while everything else in life happens around you.

So it is basically the relation between how important something can be to you, and how much effort you are willing to put into it.

It doesn't mean that this kind of effort and dedication are not valuable. Think about it: the task at hand can be so fucked up that no one else would accept tackling it. When you have the courage to face it, in all its fuglyness, that makes you a very valuable asset.

Then the question is just about how much that can cost, and if it is affordable or worthy.

But it is important to have some triggers that would put you out of that flow state, so you can take a look at the big picture, and re-evaluate if the effort is still worthy.

Good luck! :D
