Preparation is key to finishing tasks. Start by knowing what has to be done. I live by this quote in most things that I do.
Every time I start a new task, I think about what I have to do. I just can’t start without preparation.
Getting a job ready before you start, having what you need and finding no surprises cuts down on what you need to do.
I don’t know why I do it that way, but that’s how I do my work. Have it all ready, then it’s done quickly. It might mean I start later then others, but I nearly always finish first. http://taniashipman.com/give-six-hours-chop-tree/
