Had a chat with a senior drafter at a diner that totally shifted how I approach revisions

I was grabbing breakfast after a rough morning job and this older guy overheard me complaining about a client who wanted their 4th round of changes on a simple floor plan. He just said 'you're fighting the wrong battle, the drawn mark is just the start of the conversation.' It hit me different because I'd been so focused on making it perfect instead of keeping the dialogue open. Made me wonder if anyone else has had an old-timer drop some simple advice that actually changed how you work day to day.

That drafter knew his stuff. Perfect is the enemy of done, you know?

Yeah @dylan_anderson, that's a solid way to look at it. Sometimes you just gotta roll with what you've got rather than chasing perfection.
