Absolutely! It took me a few disasters to learn that lesson. I used to always take the complicated path, thinking it was smarter. Ended up creating twice the work for myself when things went sideways. My own stubbornness was the real headache. Now I go for the simple, solid option every time. Saves my future self from my past self's bad ideas.

Remember my field notes from undergrad. My handwriting was so bad even I couldn't read the rock descriptions later, so maybe digital has a point.
