Taking care of necessary details
To practice Thoroughness, I will:

Success is in the Details
Thoroughness is the awareness of even the smallest details and their relationship to the big picture. This doesn’t come automatically. It is learned by paying attention to how details have affected our past successes and failures and learning from the achievements of others.
Thoroughness starts before the task even begins by keeping your supplies and resources organized so you are prepared to start a task. It is planning what you will do and when to stay on schedule. It’s anticipating what might derail success and learning to avoid it.
Thoroughness is getting the job done, but it doesn’t stop there. The job includes cleaning up after the work is over. It also helps to review your work to learn from what went wrong and what went right.
This month, challenge yourself to plan your work with Thoroughness and work your plan as Thoroughly as you created it.
