I work the same way, Mark.

I still cut or stab myself, very rarely, but it's not my fault. Some of my
tools are blood-curious pranksters. Still, my body has learned to heal
faster. Win/win situation.

Out of everything I learned, the best stuff was experienced first, most
often through failures, that became successes, or great lessons.

I now try to find a balance between the planning and the flexibility of
working with what is happening. Just to save time and money. Otherwise, If
I were loaded, I'd spend all my time experimenting!
