My product launch is threatened by my own pressure of perfection

I am someone who plans meticulously. I try to think about the little details as much as I can. This is something I certainly did for my startup's preorder launch. I planned a lot, every step of the way.

Now here is a confession:

One week into our launch project, I realized I under-estimated how long it would take to design the landing page and pushed out the deadline for another week. (The deadline was initially Feb.22 )

Now I am again missing the new deadline.

Last week, I was supposed to finish recording the product video, which is the essential to the launch.The video explains our product in detail, show the features we have developed, and convince ppl Typogram is worthy to pre-order.

So much is on the line with this product video; it has to be perfect.

Annoyed with myself, I reviewed my tasks.

I realize that when I have an intermediate level of skills on the tasks, the tasks are finished smoothly and on time.

When my skill levels fall on the extreme ends, too high or too low, the tasks take too long or go very poorly.

In the end, my co-founder and I decide to push our launch from 2/22 to the next couple of weeks and I am spending this week working hard on the video. Now, I am trying my best to defeat the pressure of perfection.

There are more details about my plans in the original post. If you enjoyed this post, I share weekly build in public updates, subscribe if you feel like it.
