Selective Perfectionist
the name given to a person that chooses to complete random tasks to perfection, but lacks the ability to perfect or even attempt the other necessary tasks in life. a selective perfectionist has the full potential to do everything “just right” but chooses to waste all of their time perfecting something else when other things require attention. also known as procrastinating.
