Trying to create “perfect” choreography for competitions is challenging because you are expected to level up and go all out. However, complicated moves will not be enough if your message is not clearly conveyed and understood.

Here are valuable insights from neurologist and psychiatrist Dr. Jesus Alberto Q. Poblete, on how to avoid perfectionism by being mindful of your direction:

1. Make a plan by listing down the tasks paired with a timetable, including reasonable allowances for adjustments.
2. Remember that in creating a piece, it is not a choice between 0 or 100, but rather a range from 0 to 100. Reaching 90 may be good enough for you to move on. This reflects a balance between efficiency and a healthier mindset.
3. According to Parkinson’s Law, “Work expands to fill the time available for its completion,” which highlights the importance of planning tasks based on the time allotted.
