Stolen from here: https://pixabay.com/photos/bottle-mineral-water-bottle-of-water-2582012/ Did you know that the human body contains 60% of water? I’ve found a new way to lose weight: I stopped drinking as much water as I used to.

I’ll just drink the missing water later.

Every time I have compromised on quality, it has came later to bite me.

Compromise on scope, not quality. Prioritize by value, have a working version early on, create yourself options. Then when the deadline is coming and you’re not done, you can cut the scope rather than quality, and still have something working.
