Released my post on what I do about perfectionism as a content creator, which was my biggest obstacle blogging (it used to take me sometimes a month to finish a post)!

Amen!
Somebody once told me, "Perfection can be the enemy of the good." They told me that in light of the fact that I had virtually nothing to show for all my high school art classes simply because I smashed up anything that wasn't perfect.
I'm reading a book right now called the gift of imperfection --- there is an entire chapter on how perfectionism is not a good thing in ANY way. You are lucky someone shared that insight with you and that you heard it. :)
Omg, this is awesome. I actually have a similar post about how perfectionism harms your relationships and mental health (based on my experience). My other blog is down right now, though, so I cannot share it π
Love the gif! Small win this week, was stuck on a minor issue for hours. Woke up this morning, fixed it in 2 minutes!
Nice, you solved it! :D
Sometimes to solve problems we just need a break, make other things, and come back with a more clear mind.
Finally got back to doing some Exercism challenges. I tried limiting myself to just doing them on my home Linux box and ended up not doing them at all for 8 months. Now I'm back to doing them on my Windows laptop. Limiting myself to just C# and JavaScript until I finish those tracks (instead of trying to do 14 tracks at once.)
Created ACID test scenarios with 5624 lines addition to the repository and got approved by the devs with amazing feedbacks π(**crying under the glasses, so happy).
Lost my job first week of April. Big win this week was to get and sign an offer on a new position starting Monday.
Congratulations π

Not me per se but shout out to @molly_struve , @atsmith813 and all the contributors who helped us migrate off a proprietary search platform to an open source one. We finally finished the project this week. π

I published and sold 17 copies of my first-ever book, "Using Gatsby and Netlify CMS"! I didn't know what to expect as I have never written a book before, but it was a lot of fun!

π wooo! That has to be an awesome feeling to sell something that you created like that!
That's really cool! Congrats!
