Allow learning and an adequate result · D4.5

Let an adequate result be enough for this task

You are polishing a low-stakes task beyond its purpose.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Identify the actual requirements and any errors that would matter.
2. Check that those requirements are met, then distinguish optional polish from necessary correction.
3. Choose to stop, share, or move on when the result is adequate for its purpose.

An example

A reminder message needs the date and location; it does not need a perfect opening sentence.

Reflect

What standard did the task actually require?
