Doing it right is slower on day one and faster every day after.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

The careful version costs more at the start and then keeps paying, because you stop going back to fix things and stop carrying a mental list of what is fragile. Speed early is mostly borrowed from later, and the loan gets repaid in interruptions at bad moments. People still take the fast route because day one is the only day you can feel.

Choose one thing you keep redoing and set it up properly once. Give it the afternoon it needs. After that, judge it by the week rather than by the morning.
