I'm kind of curious about the things you're seeing since I find the best way is to have them come up with a plan for the work they're about to do and then make sure they actually finish it because they like to skip stuff if it requires too much effort.

I mean, I just think of them like a dog that'll get distracted and go off doing some other random thing if you don't supervise them enough and you certainly don't want to trust them to guard your sandwich.
