This is an interesting subject.

When looked at from an approach of continual improvement in the context of learning the aim for perfection is productive.     When seen as a end in itself the aim for perfection can lead to destructive curve fitting, inappropriate allocation of time, or similar symptoms.

A good test of which mode you are operating in is to ask yourself a question about your attitude to mistakes.

If you love mistakes because they are opportunities to learn then you are probably in the first mind-set of continual improvement.

If the answer is you often 'kick yourself' for making mistakes then you probably have the second unproductive mind-set.

There are practical steps that can be taken if you feel you are suffering from the second perception.

Now imagine what you are going to do about it.
