How do I stop cutting safety corners under time pressure?
You know the rules, and you notice when you break them. That self-awareness is more than a lot of people have. The pull to cut corners under pressure is strong precisely because everyone around you does it, and it feels normal until the day it is not. The rules are not there for the ordinary day. They are there for the rare bad moment the shortcut was quietly setting up. Everyone cuts this corner is true right up until someone gets hurt on it, and then it is just you and the consequence. The crowd will not be standing there with you. Small step: pick the one corner you cut most often and decide, firmly, that it is the line you do not cross no matter the clock. Just one, held every time. Habits are built one rule at a time, and each one you keep is a version of you that goes home whole.
