Summary
Tracy shares her 80% rule for getting things out the door, how the Time Leadership Quadrant helps clarify what belongs on your plate (and what doesn’t), and why celebrating incremental progress is often more powerful than holding out for a perfect outcome. She also draws the line between high standards—which are non-negotiable—and perfectionism, which is really just rigidity in disguise.
