   people have so different ways to work that there is no single style
   that is the best for everybody.

so the challenge for you is to upscope and see how to separate the
specific from the general, and put in place (directly or otherwise)
mechanisms that allow the general to support the specific.  otherwise,
this valuable realization goes to waste; substituting one specific w/
another does not improve the general condition.  ("meet the new boss,
same as the old boss." -- the who)

for things where there is no possible separation, the earlier that can
be determined the more time/effort you save (which is good if you are
lazy like me :-).
