One of the beauties of having a job while pursuing your creative work on the side is that you get to carry more attitudes into a greater variety of situations.
When I review designs for an animated course made by a third party, I share my opinion the same way I would criticize my own work. But when I hear back that a suggested change would significantly slow down the process or that someone else believes the diagram should stay as it is, I’m not fussed at all. “Okay, that works, let’s keep rolling!”
The reason it’s easy to let things go at work is that I can obsess over my own stuff in my spare time. If I want to be a perfectionist there, I can fully indulge that tendency. No compromises. It takes as long as it takes. That, too, is satisfying in its own way.
In theory, most of us know we can change our mind on any day, any occasion, and in any moment. In reality, being forced to adopt multiple personas makes it significantly easier to practice actually doing so. You can wear a different hat, and be a different cat. Lean into your characters, and see what you learn.
