Would you rather have lots of time for a low priority project or be rushed for an important project?

I would definitely rather have lots of time for a low priority project. I'm all about any progress being good progress.

Professionally, I grapple with being rushed for immediate important things on the daily so it sounds too much like work to me.

I'm right there with you on this. I'd rather have lots of time to do the job right, even if it is a lower priority project.

Same. If I'm rushed, I me up. Messing up on a high priority project can get expensive, frustrating, and dangerous. I'd MUCH rather relax with a low priority one.

I'm with you guys on the slow/low priority but it's funny how the rushed important jobs tend to be absolutely critically and utterly important when they occur  you know, like when the septic system backs up.
