    These aren’t necessarily my favorite quotes, but they are the two I find myself referencing almost daily in my work life.

    “We never seem to have the time to do it right, yet we always seem to find the time to do it twice.”

    “You can save hours of planning with weeks of work.”

          I think a more appropriate one would be about the sunk cost fallacy. You should realize when it’s time to take a step back and reconsider your solution. Maybe you’re missing something obvious?

        I need that for my boss. She plans for EVERYTHING.

        I don’t mean everything that will happen, or could happen, I mean EVERYTHING.

        We spend more time preparing for things that never happen than we do actually working on the things that do.
