Here is a song that can make me feel better about making mistakes but maybe only if they are intentional, not unintentional:
I turned in something today just under the wire. Kind of frantic at the end and the document I'd been writing and rewriting over and over sent to press metaphorically with a typo, at least one that I put in just at the end fidgeting with the words. Of course the more important more people who might see my work, the more the glaring and stupid the error feels. But I realize I should care more when the error is significant or something more is at stake more than my ego. But those types of mistakes, the real big ones mostly seem out of my power to avoid or too scary to confront. If I can't manage typos in documents I prepare for work, what else is slipping through the cracks?
I feel like the clock is ticking.
