Strategic Imperfection

This doesn't mean you stop learning or ignore mistakes. It means being strategic about when perfection matters. A contract? Check it twice. A casual Slack message? Send it. A board presentation? Practice it. In a meeting, make the point, then move on.

Create two mental categories: high-stakes and low-stakes. Be imperfect in low-stakes moments; that is where fluency grows. Save careful editing for contracts, board decks, and other moments where precision truly matters.
