The combination of the two could spell a recipe for "social phobia." I've reduced my perfectionism considerably with rational-emotive therapy.
Iamanon,
Sounds like a reasonable idea. I like trying out non-med "tips" and ideas. One thing I have found that seems to work (a variant of an idea that jojo posted) on the indecisiveness part of my ADHD, is when I find myself aimlessly pacing around before I go somewhere is to ask myself directly: "OK, what is the very next decision that needs to be made?", then I answer it. All very quickly and in very discrete steps. And whatever I answer I DO. It has helped.
