When creative perfectionism becomes collaborative paralysis

My collaborator and I are both perfectionists and we've been working on this project for eight months that should have taken three, because every time one of us proposes something the other person has a better idea, and we're trapped in this cycle of constant improvement that's preventing us from ever finishing anything.

More people experience this than they realize.
