Actual (one-sided) conversation with myself today:

Me #1: [Contemplates possible next step of difficult project]

Me #2: "No way am I doing that. It's too difficult. It's not necessary. I've done way too much already as it is.

Me #1: [Begins to do it anyway]

Me #2: "You suck."

Me #1: [Ignores comment, continues to work]

Me #2 (after awhile): "It does look a lot better, I'll admit."

Me #1: [Smiles inwardly]

Score another win for the perfectionist part of me, as usual.
