> She didn't dwell on procrastination, other than noting the link. She did give a lot of good information on perfectionism. She recommended reading the chapter on perfectionism in the book "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burn. I haven't done so yet (procrastination). I took a lot of notes. If it is advice on perfectionism you are seeking, I will look for it. I leave everything laying around and piling up til we are having company. Then I stash everything in sight into drawers, cabinets, closets, never to be found again. A maddening habit. But I think I can dig up my notes if you meant perfectionism, not procrastination.
I am interested in the role perfectionism plays in the cause or continuation of depressive illness. A doctor I once saw cited perfectionism specifically as an important contributor. What else can you tell about it?Thank you.

I spent an hour making sure this post was perfect. I'm not sure it is.
