Being honest about what you didn’t finish is part of finishing well.

Something half finished and handed over as if it were complete creates a second, hidden problem for whoever picks it up. Naming the gaps costs a moment of discomfort and saves everyone the slower discovery. It also makes your finished work more trustworthy, because people learn that when you say a thing is done, it is. Honesty about the edges is a skill, not a confession.

Next time you hand something in or pass it on, add one line about what is missing or unchecked. Keep it plain and brief. Notice that people respond to it far better than you expect them to.
