An important something indeed, thank you.

Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of Roses,
Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies
Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten:
In folly ripe, in reason rotten.

Pushing this a bit beyond the direct concrete steps listed here because there's something important in there that seems overlooked entirely and is worth noting:

1. Your time is a scarce resource, like any other, but highly non-renewable in that once spent it can never be earned back, and has no substitute.

Like any other *of its sort*, meaning specifically that it's the sort of resource that will *always* be spent, it can never be saved as such - all you can ever do is to spend it better. As a result, the only option ever on the table goes along the lines of "do or fail" for any specific call and otherwise "do or die" overall.

Thanks for putting these down, I'ma re-read until I have them ingrained. I'm looking forward to witnessing how scrutinizing your time like I've known you to scrutinize code pays off.
