It's always the little things we take for granted that bite us in the hiney. I had to learn that one the hard way too.
There is actually one additional tip I learned a while ago. Example: If I need 4 strips that are 2.5" each, I used to cut them individually. NOW, I cut one strip at 10" and cut that in half, and then sub-cut the 5" pieces. That way I don't distribute misalignments of the ruler over each cut. Makes a difference for me.
