"Only handle it once" is what I advocated for office efficiency years ago. It wasn't a matter of being a perfectionist -- it was a matter of not picking up the same piece of paper over and over again, moving it to another spot. Pick it up, work it, and file it away.

My dad used to say the good, better, best phrase. Brings back great memories, he's been gone for alot of years.
I loved the OHIO acronym too - an efficiency tool that's been around for a long time, but I've never heard it put so clear and concise as this before.
Great thread ladies!

Good grief--- I read this post and many are saying their grandmothers said it.......revelation to me... I am that grandmother I guess my age is showing, however, my grandmother said it too... 60 years ago.

My Grandmother would tell me that when I would get frustrated trying to do something. She also said there is never enough time to do it right but theres always time to do it over.

My Grandmother, too. My Home Ec teacher used to come and sit right next to you and make you rip out stitches while she laughed and told you you would never be happy with less than perfect and she was so right. Yes, I am precision piecer and have to be the best I can do.
