>> Highly successful people tend to be perfectionistic, constantly striving to meet impossible standards.
Its more with a powerful train of thoughts that cant be stopped easily!For e.g. if you were easily prone to obsession with solving tech/math/science problems ...if you were to get a problem late in the evening, it depends on how easily you can detach sleep and rest from the unsolved problem and sleep peacefully or be stuck in the train of thoughts even in bed as to why it didn't work !The more one learns to rationally reason out of these train of thoughts (for e.g. better to take rest now and move onto problem tomorrow morning ...etc..) and take a day at a time , better prepared is one against such thoughts.
Though this doesn't seem like OCD but constant barrage of thoughts seem to be the common divisor.
I guess it very important (especially towards successful people ) that success/perfection doesn't become an obsession but rather a process towards a greater goal.
