McGraw Center Graduate Workshop: Taming Perfection and the Art of "Good Enough"

Voltaire is credited with claiming “the ‘perfect’ is the enemy of the good.” What if we take this to heart? In this workshop for graduate students across disciplines, we’ll unpack “perfectionism” and explore some of the roots and consequences of this common challenge. Next, we’ll discuss how unrealistic expectations are linked to both procrastination (trouble starting) as well as to doubts about when we are finished (trouble stopping). We’ll end with strategies to incorporate the “good enough” approach to productivity and achievement into our lives.
