I think that satisficing is sometimes the right way to approach tasks. I would classify a whole slew of tasks as not super important but still needing to be done. It isn’t always worth it to pour energy into everything you do. As someone who errs on the side of perfectionism too often, I find the concept of succeeding with no wasted motion to be a sanity saver.
Absolutely, I think doing things more quickly and cleanly than demanded is also (and perhaps the correct) a form of succeeding with abandon. I was referring to the many situations where you’re stuck in an activity anyway after the “outcome” is already clear (e.g. a won game). Making the most of these situations is helpful.
