Timeliness is a real dimension of quality, not a compromise on it. A flawed choice made when it could still shape events often serves you better than an elegant one delivered after conditions have moved. Judging decisions only by their internal perfection ignores the clock they were made against.

When you catch yourself refining, ask what the decision is worth today versus in three weeks. If the value decays, factor that in openly rather than pretending time is free. Good enough and on time is a legitimate target, not a failure of standards.
