Never do a whole job when a half job will do.
Is this really good advice? … Well ….
The statement “Never do a whole job when a half job will do” could be interpreted in different ways, so whether or not it’s good advice depends on the context.
In some cases, doing only half a job might be acceptable if it provides sufficient results. For example, if you only need to complete a task partially to move on to the next step, then doing a half job might be sufficient.
However, in many cases, doing only half a job is not recommended. If the goal is to complete a task to the best of your abilities, then doing only a half job could result in subpar results and potentially require more time and effort to fix in the future. It’s often better to do the job to the best of your abilities and ensure that it’s done correctly the first time.
Additionally, in some fields, such as construction or healthcare, doing only a half job can have serious consequences. It’s important to take the necessary time to complete a task properly and ensure that it meets the required standards and regulations.
So, in conclusion, whether or not “Never do a whole job when a half job will do” is good advice depending on the context and the task at hand. It’s important to consider the goals and consequences of doing only a half job before making a decision.
This is only half my answer though!

I am sure this saying only refers to cooking.
I can’t imagine myself doing a task or any job without giving my all.

When i cook something new i will always try to follow a recipe once, than every time after i will see if i can cook the same and get something as good.
I have also watched my husband cook and i am absolutely positive he just says ‘ a little of this, some of that, whats this – oh it can go in.’
I have also eaten many dishes where the cook just throws in left overs and something amazing comes out.

I trained as a chemist so for me cooking is putting a lot of chemicals together in a reaction vessel, heating, and seeing what the product is! It is usually successful!

love it – I think maybe a good message for perfectionists – trying to accept “good enough” is challenging
