How do perfectionists deal with lack of time or stress regarding their performances?

[Deleted78083]

How do you perfectionists deal with lack of time or stress regarding the quality of the services you are delivering to your clients? I know that good being the enemy of perfect is bad advice, but what if you can't make it perfect?

Would you agree if I said that it is better not to take a job you can't do well than doing it "badly"?

Example: I am being offered a small job as a copywriter for a website and while I believe I write well, I have never done copywriting before.

Thank you.

M.
