Yeah, trust me — I desperately wish there were days I could get away with that. But in my line of work, if I screw up, it ends up appearing on TVs, magazines, monitors, and/or billboards across the country. Nothing like a multimillion-dollar cock-up to put a damper on your weekend plans ... and an end to your career. Call it a hazard of the profession, but I'm now a firm believer in multi-layered editing and proofing. That's awesome! I think I just found the title for my memoirs.

I'm such a stickler for perfection when it comes to writing some piece of literature or analysis. I would proofread my own stuff daily until I get it all right. And if I do miss something, there is no need to worry as I don't plan to post any of that online for people to read (too embarrassed). I believe the term you're looking for is Productive Laziness. Our minds are lazy by nature avoiding unnecessary work but in smart way. It can't be helped, this is our default mind after all. And it's actually one of our biggest strength as sentient beings.

I do all of my own proofreading. Seems to work out. I'm not a very efficient writer though.

Can confirm the above. I may not be qualified for any of the positions, but I've checked Translations before and in the wise words of my current employer: "Your virgin eyes do miracles for spotting the nonsense that slipped through the cracks."
