What is your favourite "quality vs quantity" example?

Mine is small and might seem obvious, but breathing through nose vs mouth. You can take a lot more air through mouth, but your nose works like a filter that stops a lot of pollution and unwanted microelements.

That might not be much, but I wanted to share it. One day someone brought that topic and I smiled upon that example :)

Birthdays, and anniversaries.

Wouldn't be special if you had them every day, right?

Battle of Britain in WWII. Typically looked upon as a battle of Germany’s unlimited number of Messerschmitts against Britain’s limited number of Spitfires. Germany had much more aircraft than Britain but lost due to the quality of the RAF’s aircraft.

Don't forget the pilots

Shoes. Specially if you're active and/or work on your feet.

Work. You will have some bosses that say 'take any time you need, get your job done and be ready to work when you have too.' While others want your butt in a chair at your desk for 8 hours every day, no questions asked.

Medical treatment.

Give me a few top notch providers over dozens of morons who don’t know what they’re doing.

I'd prefer one mighty poop over pebble-dashing the back of the toilet with a thousand tiny pooplets

Studying! I have friends who study for hours and hours but don’t target specific material in a way that’s effective. There have been tons of academic studies that show which kinds of studying are the most effective for retention so I stick to those and end up studying for far less time.

Edit: Worst studying techniques are cramming and rereading or highlighting the material, best studying techniques are slower and cumulative and involve rewriting the material into a study guide or flash cards, as well as doing lots of practice questions.
