The former perfectionist is screaming in the inside right now. I find this funny now: I spent the last 3 years pushing back on care binders.
Why? I was convinced our digital systems, very expensive HIPAA compliant software + strong caregiver continuity made them unnecessary.
What actually changed was not just my mind, but how I operate:
Old me would have opened Canva. Spent hours perfecting a cover design. Researched binder templates for weeks. Curated the “perfect” forms. Made it beautiful, branded, Pinterest-worthy.
Current me grabbed a pen, drew a circle, wrote “PCC” and a client name, printed it, and called it done.
And you know what? My clients and caregivers asked for these binders. Not because they’re gorgeous. But because they need something tangible they can hold, reference, and trust, especially in memory care.
So that’s what we gave them. Nothing more, nothing less.
The rough covers aren’t a compromise. They’re proof that I’m finally building what’s actually needed, not what my perfectionism convinced me had to exist.
Still got the drive. But now I know the difference between excellence and overthinking.
