IP 10 Preliminary action

IP 10 Do it first/Preliminary action [Principle of preliminary execution]

Preliminary action by doing something in full or part before it is actually required.

Do an action before it is required to make the whole process easier later.

Do part of an action before it is required to aid the complete action later.
Arrange objects or items for the most effective processes at a later point.

Pre-sliced bread, meats or cheese. Pre-completed forms on paperwork or documentation. Pre-assembled units.

Perforated packaging or stamps. Reduced menu lists for operators based on context.

Delivery packages or mail sorted into rounds and then into drop-off order.

Tasks and actions can be very hard work in terms of both time and effort. Many good inventions are 'labor saving,' and there is no better principle than doing something ahead of time to save time and effort later.

Sometimes tasks cannot be completed at a convenient time, so we again by doing all or some of the work earlier. Even if we cannot do any of the work ahead of time, we can always pre-arrange items and activities into the most efficient order for later processing!
