It is a very difficult habit to change, and in twenty years of senior
management, in university and industry, I don't think I have
ever succeeded in reforming a perfectionist.

If your friend is in his 20s, maybe. Time
management books are probably the most useful - he should
pick one that he likes the look of (they all say much the same).
Covey's "7 habits of highly effective people" works for some.
