Research splits perfectionism in two. High standards are linked to better performance. Worry erases that edge. Here’s Arnold’s rule for keeping one without the other.

Monday Motivation: Slow Down And Find The Joy
I took one thing at a time this week.
Everything hit at once. The movie, the book, the commercials. I told Ketch the schedule was brutal, but if we took it one day at a time and checked things off as we went, we could slow it down.
Since I got back from Oktoberfest, nothing has stopped. I went straight into a commercial shoot for Man with the Bag, on top of my recording sessions for the new audiobook and press days for the movie and the book.
On Saturday night, we raised 8.75 million dollars for After-School All-Stars at my annual fundraiser at my house. At my age, an event that keeps you up until 2 in the morning hits hard.
Monday morning, it was back to the studio to film with Alan Ritchson to promote Man with the Bag. I still hadn't recovered. I'll admit it: I skipped the gym before the shoot.
Tuesday, the alumni from my administration gathered to celebrate the 20th anniversary of AB 32, the historic environmental law I talked about last week. I couldn't take it easy. I was on stage speaking, with journalists and historians in the audience who are writing about what we did and paying attention. I was back in the gym before the event, though.
Wednesday, I drove to Long Beach to join the current Governor at the California Economic Summit. It turned into a mini-reunion: some of the Highway Patrol guys who were the best drivers on my security detail when I was Governor are now in charge of the entire detail. We all keep moving up!
Thursday, I was back in the studio for voiceover work on a project that has to stay top secret for a while.
When we finished, Ketch and I sat down for coffee, and I said, "See, it looked bad on Monday, but we took it one thing at a time and got through.”
We slowed it all down.
That's been on my mind all week, because this week we rebuilt the workout schedule in our Pump Club app, and it comes from the same place.
From the beginning, I never wanted anyone to stress about what days they trained. I hated the idea.
You've heard me say progress, not perfection. You know perfection is bogus. It doesn't exist.
But it goes deeper than that.
I don't believe that someone who is worrying about whether they train Monday or Tuesday can possibly set themselves up for success. They are stressing about something that does not matter.
My whole team knows how many times they start to get bogged down in the details, and I chime in: "It doesn't f—ing matter."
I don't believe in getting stuck in the weeds. You get tangled up and lose sight of the important stuff.
When you stop worrying about the details, you have more energy for what matters.
The words as text: what a screen reader can follow, and all there is when images don't load.
