Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The EBD Show, Steve reads Chapter 3: Perfectionism in Disguise from The Enough Bucket.
Perfectionism in Disguise is the sneaky form of Enough Bucket Dysmorphia that pretends to be “quality control.” You tell yourself you’re polishing, refining, making it better — but really, you’re just stuck in endless tweaks and “just one more” revisions. The module doesn’t get sharper, it just gets slower, heavier, and further away from the learner’s needs.
This chapter exposes the signs and symptoms of hidden perfectionism, why it feels productive when it’s not, and how good intentions can end up sinking a project.
