Perfection and housework

All my life i grew up listening to my mom say abt something that is is perfect or not perfect etc.So my idea of good is perfect.All the time I try doing something, I want it to be perfect.If it is not perfect, then it is as good as zero.Nothing in between.I get disappointed because something is half done.So in when doing house work if i don't have the time, to fold  the laundry, i 'll wait till i get time enough(one stretch),because it will be half done and i have aversion to half done things.Laundry gets accumulated and the one stretch time needed becomes more and more and becomes more difficult.Now even if i have the time, i won't do it, coz the laundry to be folded looks like a mini mountain.But it has to be done anyways, i spend half a day of a nice week end day folding laundry.Now i absolutely hate folding laundry more than ever and this keeps happening.This is the normal in our house.I recently saw a website, where they said let go of your perfectionism.This came as a shocker, i actually had to read twice.Yes.After reading a while i gave in and wanted to try this new concept.Now before starting a thing, i think it doesn't have to be perfect, and true i do little, whatever i can.My house looks far better for obvious reasons.We have never in our life associated the word perfectionism with negative.But there it is.This woman from that website talks like it is an ugly word.Come to think of it, only when i let go of my perfectionism, i am happy with what i have done, rather than beating myself up for not getting everything done.All  though my life, when someone said i do something slow but very very clean, i felt so proud, now i understand that it means, u 'll not get much done in time...If you are a perfectionist, try to let go of your perfectionism and see yourself shine or to be exact, see yourself to be happy abt you.....
