In recording this episode week after week, certain themes keep coming up in Shannon and Janine’s conversations. This episode, we distill them down to four hacks: (1) getting in touch with what’s important to you; (2) asking yourself, “Is it good enough?”; (3) noticing when you’re in perfectionist mode and (4) recognizing that something is better than nothing.
Discussion topics include:
- Pot stickers!
- Getting in touch with what’s important to you
- Avoiding overindulgence by getting in touch with what’s important to you in the near future
- Asking yourself “Is it good enough?”
- Noticing when you’re in perfectionist mode

- How having a word of the year can help you get in touch with what’s important to you
- Janine and Shannon’s 2020 words of the year

You are unaware of the potsticker Paradigm? No matter how many you eat, there will ALWAYS be 3% more space available. They are the perfect food.

Jonathan, that made me laugh! I had no idea, but that explains everything! (This is Janine thanking you.)
I have GOT to get out to Walla Walla and try those potstickers! My favorite anti-perfectionist hack is repeating to myself Janine’s mantra, “Let It Be Easy.” You have no idea how helpful that is to me. I also like “Done Is Better than Perfect” and “Something Is Better than Nothing.”
