Quality over Quantity

You've heard this before, right? Quality over quantity? You've probably even said it. I know I have.

But what does this really mean and do we actually do this?

I've taken to thinking about this in a few areas of my life. 

1. During my weight workout. The slower pace and quality of repetitions always makes me feel like I've had a better workout than if I move to fast. Quality usually decreased with speed. 

2. When grocery shopping. I'm pretty intentional about what I purchase at the grocery store. I'd rather purchase some good quality whole foods rather than a bunch of things in packages that aren't going to give me the same nutrients and satisfaction in eating them.

3. In my writing. When conveying a message, I try to keep my written words concise, despite all the thoughts in my head. Fewer words for a clearer message. 

There are a number of other ways I attempt to apply the quality rule, and those are definitely works in progress.
