Finish the parts nobody will look at. That’s where you find out if you’re a pro.

Every piece of work has sections nobody inspects, and those are the ones that tell you what you are. Finishing them is not about being seen, because by definition you will not be. It is about whether the standard lives in you or in the fear of getting caught.

Find the part of your current project you were planning to leave rough. Do that part properly, even though the mark will be identical. Notice how differently you hand the thing in.
