I prefer doing it fast, because in a lot of cases you don't even know what "doing it right" means. Also, when you do it fast, you see results quicker, which can motivate you.

That's valid, but I knew the right way to do it and still chose not too.
and I'll bet grandpa-pepper suggested the right way at the time.
Sometimes silver hair equals a lot of errors done it the past learning the right way to do things. LOL
Actually, I did not. I was too excited with the big picture of clearing the trees for the driveway and home site.
From this silverhaired grandfather, Slow Down, Do it once, do it right.
My bum is still sore from the number of times I was told that when I was younger.
I once was availed of a huge stack of free building supplies. As a homesteader, I leaped at the unexpected opportunity.
I had several tons of 8"x16" concrete blocks for free!
But... I had no idea of what to do with them until I needed them, so stacked them near my woodshed. Then I had to rebuild the woodshed and they were in the way, so I moved them. Then, after the woodshed was rebuilt, I moved them back.
Etc...
I really regret getting all those free bricks. They cost me more than I can relate. Sometimes, it is far more profitable to just say no, or to sit down and do nothing but think, until you come up with the right way to do something.
Good point, lesson learned.
