Why can’t it be both. During my day job, I don’t want to do an inadequate job, so I’d rather not do it, or hold off until I’m prepared. Procrastinate, until I can do it good enough. In my creative work. I’m not worried about inadequacy. There is an expression to be made. Not reaching the mark, or inversely going over the mark would mean the expression is not made. Perfectionism takes over that space.
