Perfectness

That is exactly what I am trying to do! But still, doing more than one thing at the time gives me a stresses feeling. Especially when people tell me to work fast in an amount of time that is not suitable for me. It gives me a lot of stress! For myself: it must be perfect the first time. And because I will have this idealism, I also get distracted. The reason is that I know that this is an impossible task I give myself. I also want to do everything is right. But then I ask myself: “What is right?”. We can not give an answer to this question. Because this is what happens to me everything I do, will affect the concentration I have. I think too much or I do too much at the same time.

Jessica Frazier, thanks for the advice. Maybe this will help me.
