It’s cheap and easy to avoid problems before they happen by going out of our way to do good work.

Doing the right thing and getting out of a problem situation before things get sticky is almost as good, and it’s far better than getting stuck in a big battle later on.

Freaking out about an issue that’s hanging over our head, losing sleep, worrying when we should be relaxing, stressing out beyond belief…all of this is pointless.

Building in a bit of space in the process, doing more than the minimum, going above and beyond what’s expected affords us the ability to respond to things in real time. We’re able to fix things when they’re small, instead of waiting ’til the shit hits the fan to panic and jump into damage control mode.

Doing the right thing now is almost always cheaper than trying to fix it later.
