Perhaps it is wise to overcompensate. For example, maybe it is better to overly hype yourself up before a one rep max, even if you don’t really “need it”.

Also, when it comes to compensating employees or other people, maybe it is better to compensate them more than you think you should.

Also, what timing on scheduling. Always overcompensate. That means, if you’re thinking about traveling for two weeks, go for three or four weeks. Also, before you get to the airport, if you think you can get there in two hours, try to get there at least 3 1/2 hours before.

Also, with cars and speed. Maybe just a good idea to overcompensate, and have a car which is faster than you think you need. Because when you really need it, the extra speed and acceleration, you could save your life, or prevent you from getting into an accident.

Also the same thing with battery life? You always need that extra battery when you least think you need it.

Also with weight lifting equipment. If you’re going to try to lift 1000 pounds, don’t use equipment which is rated at 1000 pounds. Better to use equipment which is rated at at least 2000 pounds.
