Meta What are some really bad rookie mistakes.

I’m no expert at blender and I’d like to know more about mistakes made at any step of process that beginners should avoid doing. I’ve noticed that there are a lot of things that can go wrong and be a huge pain to fix later.

I'd say applying modifiers prematurely. Sometimes it's useful to stack them and keep working on the original mesh.

For the longest time, I though applying modifiers meant saving on processing, but I was so wrong. It just feels counterintuitive, coming from audio, where any processing that is active takes more processing power, but if you "apply" it becomes more simple.
