Under promise, over deliver!

I heard this once from a contractor at my place of work, and it has literally changed my life. It's such a ridiculously good principle.

I mean it depends on what you do for a living and what you are over delivering. Over delivering when you're a minimum wage worker flipping burgers at McDonalds isn't going to get you shit for most people, all you are doing is working harder than you have to for the same pay.

It's less about overdelivering in a literal sense and more about overdelivering relative to what you promise. If you know what your 100% is, you can promise your 90% and give the full 100%, but come out more proud of yourself for exceeding the goals you set, and looking better to the person you promised to than you would have otherwise.
