Perfectionist

Polish-it-to-death

Polishing · Stalling · Restarting

You've never started — you've only "researched". We both know it.

What this archetype looks like

Your dominant procrastination type is the Perfectionist. You don't avoid work — you over-protect it. You wait for the right conditions, redo what's already fine and stall on small details. The hard part is opportunity, momentum and energy. What helps is shipping ugly first drafts on purpose and learning to let "good enough" be the actual finish line.
