Better early than late... (most of the time)... because you're still preparing usually and can't expect to know it all until you get there...
Better early than late... (most of the time).
Consider 'normal' sometime means late/unreliable as standard and other things and people anyway in the middle.
Especially if late means it doesn't happen or faith is lost. Do it sooner. That's my advice...
Usually the 1st pass isn't enough anyway so "doing it early" means seeing what the reality is when you get there (need time to see the situation first)... and also doing it twice sometimes to fully complete things when you realise "ah I also need to do that."
Extra time just makes sure in the getting there and case needing to do more when you get there...
In other words, expect more things to happen than you expect.
Take something to read if too early...
