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 âperfectâ forms. Made it beautiful, branded, Pinterest-worthy.
Current me grabbed a pen, drew a circle, wrote âPCCâ and a client name, printed it, and called it done.
And you know what? My clients and caregivers asked for these binders. Not because theyâre gorgeous. But because they need something tangible they can hold, reference, and trust, especially in memory care.
So thatâs what we gave them. Nothing more, nothing less.
The rough covers arenât a compromise. Theyâre proof that Iâm finally building whatâs 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.
