GordonG Oct 2020 8:46am, 23 Oct 2020 8,366 posts	Quote Pin GordonG people in authority who say they will be "re-doubling our efforts".

That means you're putting in 4 times the effort you did in the first place. Perhaps if you'd put that level of effort in originally then you wouldn't have failed the first time.
