Perfectionism is a negative mindset that will throw you around in a vicious circle and eats creativity for breakfast. I dealt with it in the past and it kills your creativity, productivity, consistency and forces you to a standstill, personal and business wise. What helped me was introducing reality checks: every time I caught myself overthinking a design, I parked the task and work on a more easier task first, one that gave me new energy. Once that task was done, I again did a reality check and tried to look at the task from a different perspective. Not my own based perspective, but a client side view of things. After all: you are your own biggest critic. Your perspective differs so much from the perspective of clients or those that visit your website. Try turning your mindset into thinking that your perfectionism isn’t seen by others, but rather by just one imaginary visitor of your website: your inner critic. THAT visitor is never going to convert and only hold you back from thriving and going forward with your business. Focus on cut-off points: 80% done? Move on! Perfection is in the details that only you see, and in beauty you will die. The other 20% can be done later, once your business is thriving (which will give you tons of positive energy) and you have some spare time left to perfect it. Hope this helps.
