💡 The Golden Rules of Project Planning
1.
Everything takes longer than you think. Double your first estimate.
2.
Prep is 40% of the job. Rushing it ruins everything that follows.
3.
Have all materials before you start. Hardware store runs kill momentum.
4.
Stop at a logical breaking point. Halfway done is worse than not started.
