Tiny Habit Finder!

My name is Annie, and I’m a perfectionist. I’m not the kind of perfectionist who wins gold medals (I took 3rd place in the regional spelling bee several times) and has multiple graduate degrees (I have a Bachelor’s in PR from a state school in Arizona)… I’m the kind that suffers from crippling procrastination because
