It’s nice to look back on what we’ve done. Sometimes we don’t see the progress when we’re in the mist of working on something. But when we do, we’re surprised.
We’re surprised by how well it’s done. Sometimes it’s difficult to know when you’re done with a project because we see how much we can improve upon it.
It’s easy to get our perfectionism in the way of our work because we see an uncompleted project. Some of us like to bring order to what we think is chaotic.
No matter how many times we walk into a dirty kitchen and continue to prolong washing the dishes, we’re still going to say to ourselves that the kitchen needs to be clean. But once the kitchen is cleaned and a time has passed since the kitchen has been clean, we go back and say, “wow” look how clean everything is.
