Oh! Less perfectionism has been a good one for me! I started the Fast and Dirty Portfolio project at Jen Lee’s, and my work took off.

Letting go of perfectionism helped me produce more work, and the more you practice the more you perfect your craft, so the fast and dirty _is_ a little closer to perfection.

I really like this do less list. Now that I am about to take on a large challenge (where I paint 100 paintings in 100 days, yikes!) These are some of the things I need to have less of. They are really good. I’m thinking of adding less perfectionism and less fear to my list. Must think about them.

Oh yes, the second-guessing for me too, definitively. Will those little voices just SHUT UP, already! And I’m glad my email tag helps, I love Barbara Sher’s work.

So interesting to read your list! Was just at a poetry festival where Tony Curtis, poet from Dublin, mentioned that at some point in his life, he decided it was ridiculous to waste time trying to figure out what to wear all the time. He picked a simple list of clothing items, like you mention your list here, and that’s what he wears. He says, when you see him, he always looks the same. :) I loooooooooooove this idea. How good it would be to NOT have to “pack” when traveling and such… Okay, off to stew over my 8 less things! :) miracles, k-

#5 is one of mine too. my remedy is to get the kids helping with laundry so they have an incentive not to make more of it than necessary.

Brilliant post, Rachelle. Until I saw it in writing, I hadn’t identified the second guessing. That’s one of mine too.
