It could be argued that "perfectionism" is just another excuse not to finish what you start, you say you want things to be "perfect" so you keep working. However, there is another element to "perfectionism" that is beyond merely trying to get something to look perfect. Perfectionists want EVERYTHING to be spot on, and will not stop until they feel it is. And that is the key to this procrastination habit:

• Are you saying you want everything to be perfect so you don't have to finish it?
• Are you afraid of the consequences of what will happen when you do finish? Fear can be a real and added element to this habit of procrastination.

Or is there another element to this procrastination habit?
