We all let the edges peel. The details just aren’t that important to us.
But they are. They’re the most important because when you let them peel away, you lose the substance of what you are. Your work suffers and you suffer.
More than that, the mentality that is OK with allowing the edges to peel back is one that will live a life without attention to detail and many nuances will be lost by the wayside.
Keep the edges cleaned up and everything else will follow.
