SUBJECT: Benefits of doing a task right the first time

I am writing to inform you, that over the past few weeks I have learned that there are many benefits of doing a task right for the first time.

As an individual who seeks for learning and who wants to continue to grow, I have learned that doing things correctly can speed up the process of a task and it also helps with focusing one thing at a time. There are many factors I have realized that can delay ones work. These are the example factors that I have come up with:

• Unpreparedness. This could be an example of running from an errand but came unprepared. Realizing that you don't have any materials/items with you and having to go back again for it. And attending on a supposed scheduled appointment but happens to rescheduling it.
• Rushing a task. Rushing a specific job often leads to mistakes that you will have to do it again for the second time.
• Not Paying Attention. Sometimes doing multi-tasks leads to confusion and it is not always a time-saver. Sometimes doing two things at once will let you realize that you messed one of the task that will lead you to confusion because you did not fully payed attention to it.
• Undone Tasks. Leaving tasks undone leads to more work because it piles up. It can take more of your time instead of starting into a new one.

This made me aware of doing the right things and to be able to learn prioritizing will leads to success. Because it is always a choice and making it into a discipline for yourself. It should be consistent and a habit.
