🛠 TREE 150: Doing the job right the first time is for lazy people

If you love hard work,
cut corners on the first pass,
don’t set up properly,
be sloppy with the details,
rush the finish, and
leave a mess.
That way you’ll get to
go back and do the job again –
maybe three times.

Or you could take the lazy route –
do the job right the first time,
and be done with it.

Doing the job right
the first time
is the easiest way
to make people trust you.
It’s the simplest method
for standing out from the crowd.
It’s the quickest route
to promotion.

Doing the job right the first time
is pure, glorious laziness
(provided you take the long view).

Enjoy a lazy weekend.
