Day 5: Persistence
Part 1 – 3 Minute Thought Download
Part 2 – When we have our perfectionism handbrake on, overthinking destroys our momentum and stops us from consistently following through.
Has overthinking made you fall off the wagon with this task or project in the past? If so, what did that look like? And what would you do differently if overthinking wasn’t an option? Write 5 ideas below.
Part 3 – Identify one small task you can do TODAY to help you achieve your 5-day goal and get it done without overthinking. Write down exactly what you’ll do, when you’ll do it and how long you’ll give yourself to get it done. If you need to give yourself a little pep talk, do that here too.

As a side note, the perfectionist thing to do is to go back to Episode 1 and start there but I don’t actually recommend doing that…
