This question was easier to answer when I was working. A majority of time was spent at work, interfacing with co-workers. I decided to be impeccable at work, and that meant many things for me: do my duties, take my job and my career seriously, don't do anything personal at work (checking emails, taking calls, limiting my internet usage to professional sites, etc.). I was honest in all my dealings and strived hard to make my boss look good (a personal work ethic). I ended up getting promoted.
I don't work now, and I find it harder to practice impeccability, mostly because I have so much time on my hands. I think most of my actions now are based in part on simply being a good citizen. I pick up my dog poop, am kind to strangers. I voice my thoughts (I have a hard time with this) in a constructive manner. I set my intent and follow through with actions (like managing money). I practice inner silence and I meditate or recapitulate.
EDIT to add: I also started taking Castaneda more seriously, in general. I reread all of the books, took notes, and practiced what I read about. I still have one more book to read (The Wheel of Time) and I am trying to make my way through the Magical Passes.
I don't know. I have a hard time defining it for myself now. What do you do?

My approach to being impeccable is to save as much as energy as I can (and I have no idea how much I actually save).
I also aim for patience/will/freedom/reaching the totality of oneself.
