When parents and teens share perfectionist procrastination patterns

My teenager and I both procrastinate on things that matter to us until we have enough time to do them perfectly, and now we're both stressed about college applications because we kept waiting for the perfect essay conditions. We recognize this pattern in each other but we don't know how to help each other break it when we're both stuck in the same trap.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Mutual perfectionist tendencies are creating a family system where no one can model healthier approaches to timing and standards.
