I have a friend who’s daughter has the exact opposite problem, she’s far too fastidious.
She’s also painfully shy. Her parents are afraid to let her out because she’s so naive that she’ll get taken in by any scammer. In a way, she might need to get burned a bit to learn.
But to the fastidious perfectionist part, she was considering doing house cleaning. We had her do our house as a test. She spent far too many hours on it. We just needed a cleaned room not a clean room surgical suite.
I found out yesterday that she did take on a neighbor as a house cleaning client. It might help teach her that there’s such a thing as good enough.
“But to the fastidious perfectionist part, she was considering doing house cleaning.”
As they say “Perfection is the enemy of the good”. Also of getting anything done.
The goal should be “good enough”.
