You can't. Or, more accurately, you shouldn't. Most of the time, it is counter productive to strive for perfection in your work. That mindset, whilst sounding laudable, is a recipe for stress and burnout.
Obviously there are times when you have to achieve 100%. But the trick is to know when those times are - and they are far less frequent than we think.
Instead, decide how well you want to get something done.
For example, how much research will you do online? How thoroughly do you need to grade each paper? Which emails deserve your attention and which can be deleted? How long will you allow that conversation to last?
The principle to live and work by is to aim for what Swedish people refer to as "lagom" meaning "just the right amount".
Sure, it takes practice. But it begins with awareness. Don't feel you have to be 100% perfect. Apply the 80-20 rule and do the things that matter most to the degree that they need to be done.
This principle can be applied to anything you do.<end_of_turn>
