I am both lazy and a perfectionist.  Normally in turn, occasionally at the same time.  It made participating in this year's April Draw a serious hardship.  The perfectionist wanted to be true to the rules and *draw* every day.  The lazy person said 'hey, trying to repaint furniture here, that should totally count too.'  So I found my weekends, rather than being devoted to bigger projects, had just as small pieces as my work days.  Instead of big projects, I went with experimenting in different areas to broaden my horizons.
