As that old song goes, starting at 'the very beginning is a very good place to start.' We sometimes believe we're undertaking something from the best or most helpful starting point, and then look for shortcuts. We sometimes don't like to allow the necessary time for something to be done or unfold properly. As keen as you might be to be clever by reducing a particular timescale, do whatever-it-is properly. Start at the beginning, and take methodical steps from there.
