No, also in physics. Or at least at the level of all the tangential stuff. Like how much effort I'd put into making a good research proposal, the mathematical rigor in the drafts of my publications that I'd submit for review to my PI... I've somehow managed to get this far by doing just enough (if I understand it, why would I bother presenting it cleanly to others?), but I now realize that doing just a little bit more can be very much appreciated by others and thus, eventually, beneficial to me too. Of course, the availability of LLMs makes this part easier.
Ah, I tend to be meticulous in work (math envy) but not meticulous in social life (hate party planning, going the extra mile, dressing up).
I've realized that this is not a good combo that leads to success haha
Ok, dressing up, that's still something I'm somehow resisting, but it would make my wife very happy if I could just shave, put on deodorant, and just not look like a hobo when I head to the lab in the morning. That's next on my list of things to improve.
what does meticulous mean in your context? i have to imagine that physicists need to be pretty meticulous so you must be referring to personal life stuff
