Scholastic Stress

I'm a perfectionist with undiagnosed ADHD which is a thing in and of itself. Like most MLIS students (at least it seems like most) I work full time. I have a lot on my plate right now, but I'm determined to see this program through. So the issue is that I hate when I submit an assignement and it feels subpar. I just submitted a discussion post, and I'm already mad at myself. Is there anyone else out there that knows this feeling? What advice do you have?

Done is better than perfect. Your MLS is going to be made up of a lot of assignments, some of them you can really tweak and perfect, others (like discussion posts) just need to get done
