What is my greatest weakness?

One of my biggest struggles is that I tend to overthink before making decisions—especially when I want everything to turn out just right. But I’ve realized that this need for perfection sometimes slows me down or makes me doubt myself.

I also fall into something called the planning fallacy—basically, it’s when you think a task will be easier or quicker than it actually is, especially when you haven’t started yet.

Like the other day, when I sketched a daisy pattern on linen, I thought, “This should be simple.” In my head, I imagined a bunch of vintage-style daisies with a warm, cozy feeling. But once I started stitching, things didn’t go as smoothly. The color layers didn’t blend the way I wanted, and I had to keep adjusting. I still haven’t figured out what colors to use for the leaves. But hey, it’s all part of the learning process, right?

These days, I’m learning to trust my gut more and go with a “progress over perfection” mindset. I try to break things into smaller steps and set clearer timelines for myself. And most importantly, I remind myself that it’s okay to take time—I’m just starting out, and there’s no rush. =))
