Very much on board with practicing this sort of thing and getting to know what works for you.

For me, it’s really about deciding about what bit of micro “value” I can do next, doing it, and leaving things in a working “done” state. And interestingly not so much leaving something “unfinished” as some commenters say.

And also maybe not knowing exactly the next thing to do. Tomorrow can bring unexpected things, new priorities (stemming from me sometimes depending on the situation) and that’s ok with me. Leaving things “done” makes this all fine and fairly non-painful.

Suspect this takes practice and a certain amount of confidence. Submitting a PR that doesn’t do all that has been planned/asked of you might be scary.
