Reality


Perfectionism feels responsible.

Hard Truth


Over-refinement often hides fear of judgment.

Meanwhile:

  • Roadmaps move

  • PMs bypass you

  • Devs prototype without you

If you stall too long, the org routes around you.

Senior Move


Time-box thinking. Ship strategically imperfect. Improve iteratively.

Today’s Action


Set a deadline for your current refinement. Stop at that point.
