    What's your biggest flaw when working?

    Mine is perfectionism. I always want to make projects perfect before I launch them, and since that's virtually impossible, I always end up having to launch projects I'm still somewhat unsatisfied with.

    So what's yours?

      pretty much the same. I think everytime I edit it's going to suck and people are going to hate it. 9 times out of 10 they love it, but I always feel like it could be better.

      Also, I get distracted very easily. It's difficult to focus...

          It ends up taking longer because I want to smooth out details that are only important in my own mind.

          That's why I prefer not getting involved in the practical details of the development process these days. It's much easier to objectively judge the quality of someone else's work, tell them which parts to change or focus on and decide when the project is ready for launch as a relative outsider.

                    Sometimes just starting. Then occasionally distractions or boredom. When I do start and get working what has the best chance of screwing it up is pain, then it is really hard to keep mind on a project.

                                I can get stuff done for others in hours, but when I do it for myself it takes days (sometimes weeks). I also have a plasma in my office, so before you know it I'm watching something and lost an hour of the day.

                                  I was just like you & still have a hard time disciplining myself enough NOT to do that anymore.

                                  Perfection is impossible & changes schedules, costs more, bloats things, etc.

                                            When I work for myself - lack of focus. If I'm doing repetitive tasks, I long for creative tasks, and viceversa.

                                            And when I work for others - insecurity. If I'm doing repetitive tasks, I feel I'm not efficient enough and that slows me even more (I do not lower quality bar though), and if I'm doing creative tasks, I feel I'm not good enough and redo things dozens of times.

                                            That's why I love photo retouching, just the right amount of repetition and creativity, and that's why my favourite tasks are database related... there's just one right way of getting that done, heh.

                                              my biggest flaw is not being able to take a break.. sit too many hours.. Once spring is here, that's going to change dramatically!!

                                                my main problem at this point is... actually there are a few

                                                The main one being I lack ambition badly now. The other one would be a huge lack of motivation. Another would be the fact that I want to learn more, but if I plan to learn something that's all it is.. a plan. I need something to motivate me and give me back the ambition that I had years ago.

                                                The whole learning thing I think would work if there was someone that had offered to teach me things. That way I can listen, let everything sink in, try the new thing(s) etc.., but that has never happen. At least no recently. For the exception of a few small tips there has been no real learning on my part and I guess that is also a cause of my lack of motivation/ambition. I'm willing to learn new things and try new things, but I just have to get my motivation back which I'm working on.

                                                  The main one being I lack ambition badly now. The other one would be a huge lack of motivation. Another would be the fact that I want to learn more, but if I plan to learn something that's all it is.. a plan. I need something to motivate me and give me back the ambition that I had years ago.

                                                  The whole learning thing I think would work if there was someone that had offered to teach me things. That way I can listen, let everything sink in, try the new thing(s) etc.., but that has never happen. At least no recently. For the exception of a few small tips there has been no real learning on my part and I guess that is also a cause of my lack of motivation/ambition. I'm willing to learn new things and try new things, but I just have to get my motivation back which I'm working on.
                                                  The last couple weeks I have been teaching myself beginners video editing, just basic stuff. How to chop up and splice, transitions, various file types... it gave me the little boost that I was lacking for quite sometime. So maybe when we are stuck doing repetitive things so often, we need to force ourselves to learn something new so that we get a bump in motivation and inspiration.

                                                              that's true. Getting out of the house would help. I'll have to look into something like that.

Like learning a new website script or some new software, but when it comes to trying to learn programing or something like that where you have to read a lot to do it. Well, I just can't keep at it and stay focused.. I dunno what it is, but I hate learning stuff that I have to sit down and read how too's.. I just like to do it and get my hands dirty.
