Play It By Ear
Decide how to handle something as it unfolds instead of planning every detail in advance.
Examples
- We don't have the final brief yet, so let's play it by ear during the meeting and adapt as we go.
- Plans for Saturday are loose — want to play it by ear and see who shows up?
- I thought I'd book everything, but I'm just going to play it by ear this weekend and follow my mood.
