the most difficult part about group projects is not doing everything yourself

#to be serious i obviously want to respect everyone's time and efforts but sometimes it's genuinely very difficult to find a balance between #evreyone contributing in ways they would prefer and the output being good. what do you do when someone is bad at something yet enthusiastic #if this was baking a cake or something else i wouldn't give a shit but this is university and we have constructed but objective guidelines #clearly this is only a problem if you're a bad person like me who prioritizes results over how people feel in situations where we're graded #i am as polite as possible but how do i gently say let me do everything over for you #what makes this even more difficult is my own inability to start things early so this problem is double my fault - at the point #where i would have my thing done others have completed their work already before so i'm always overstepping #even if i'm ready before the deadline as well. the others are just faster overall #i'm fully aware how arrogant and insufferable i am and this is btw i know the people working with me are extremely talented in their ways #and carry skills i don't have etc etc but fuck some of the things i have to redo are sooooo simple and this way of working #is extremely inefficient because on top of doing my own work i have to look over the work of others and i know that's because i want #to do so and it's not their fault but at the same time they all did say they're aiming for the highest grade so what gives #i'm actually the worst person to have as a group work member </3 genuinely horrible. i've decided for now just let what is there slide and #emphasize giving credit about all the work the people have done rightly to them and then just quietly fix it later for the final submission #shit talking
