Act Before It Repeats

In both quality systems and life, recurring issues can quietly erode progress—unless we embrace the principle of Zero Repeat. The key is containment: even without full clarity on the root cause, we can still put practical boundaries in place to prevent the issue from resurfacing. That might mean adjusting routines, setting clearer expectations, or adding a safeguard to catch the problem early. We don’t always need to dissect the “why” endlessly; sometimes the fastest way to learn is to act. Overthinking anchors us in the past—containment moves us forward with intention, resilience, and wisdom.
