Simplest way to put it: If you spend so much time fixing your hair to perfection that you don’t make it to the date, then you won’t get laid.
Apparently i have problem letting go because of too much attention to detail. I am only a first year so I don’t ever really think about delegation to another associate/paralegal. But it was apparently something i need to work on as per my performance review.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, I have terrible attention to detail. I am great at lawyering but miss obvious errors. You need to find a happy medium. Learn to let go. Like, it's not that big of a deal.

Context? I’ve never heard of that and can’t imaging dinging an associate for it.
As long as you’re not spending too much time on a task or turning things past deadline you’re fine. Better to have too much attention to detail than too little. Sounds like they didn’t have anything negative to say but the review form asked to list an area for growth.
What comments did you get in the performance review? Is the issue that you’re billing a lot more time than your peers for similar assignments?
Exactly, i am not yet sure what to delegate to a paralegal. In addition to that, in my experience- they always say they’re busy or are rude to me in their communication. I try to not give them any work to avoid drama. The arbitration world is already too stressful to deal with additional headaches.
