I will place props on my characters before I put them in complicated poses.

If I put a character in a complicated pose, I will save the pose before restoring the character back into the default pose in order to put in the prop I'd forgotten about earlier.

I will remember to parent the prop to the character after spending 10 minutes getting the placement exactly right and before re-posing the character.

If I stupidly forget to do this, I will learn from my mistake and not repeat it 8 more times in the next 4 hours.

I will apply MAT files to the figure they modify and only to the figure they modify.

If I apply the MAT file to the wrong character, I will simply choose the correct character and not spend the next 15 minutes trying to debug the MAT file.

I will not apply poses to conformed clothing. If I do, I will not fix the clothing then apply the pose to the clothing again.

I will not rely on Undo.

I will not spend 2 hours getting a scene just right then promise to save just after trying an experiment to tweak the scene.

In other words, I will not repeat yesterday.
