“If something’s hard to do, it’s probably not worth doing!”—Homer Simpson, slightly misquoted
If something’s worth doing, its worth doing right—Unknown
Sure, for a certain definition of “something” and “doing right.” But people often use an unhelpful definition of “doing right.” I have over-invested in many projects. For example, I used to spend hours organizing my music collection.
And thus the contrapositive also holds: if something’s not worth doing right, it’s not worth doing at all.
