Related for Gittin 51:14

ר' יהודה פוסל בכולן גזר טופס אטו תורף גזר שטרות אטו גיטין

TO PREVENT HARDSHIP. Hardship to whom? — R. Jonathan said: Hardship to the scribe, [the Mishnah] following R. Eleazar who said that the witnesses to delivery make [the Get] effective. By rights therefore it should not be permitted to write [beforehand] even the formula of the Get, but to make matters easier for the scribes the Rabbis allowed it. R. JUDAH DECLARED THEM ALL INVALID: he forbade the formulas for fear that the substantive part might also be written in and [he forbade the scribes to write] the formulas of bonds of indebtedness for fear [that they might also write] the formulas of bills of divorce. R. ELEAZAR DECLARED ALL OF THEM VALID EXCEPT BILLS OF DIVORCE: he forbade the formulas for fear that the substantive part might also be written, but he did not forbid the writing of bonds out of fear [that it might lead to the writing] of bills of divorce.

Tosefta Demai

One who purchases [one hundred logs of] wine from Samaritans on Sabbath Eve [that he intends to drink on Shabbat], and he forgot to separate [tithes from it], says, "Two logs that I will separate in the future, behold, they are terumah, and the ten [logs] closest to them are first tithe, and the nine [logs] closest to them are second tithe." And he deconsecrates [the second tithe and transfers its sanctity to money], and he may drink it immediately [relying on the separation that he will perform later], the words of Rabbi Meir. (Sukkah 23b:5, Steinsaltz tr.) But Rabbi Yehudah, Rabbi Yosei and Rabbi Shimon prohibit [this]. They said to him, to Rabbi Meir, "Do you not concede that if the wineskin [may] burst [and therefore he will not be able to tithe it in the future], [and thus] he has drunk from untithed produce?" He said to them, "When it bursts, [I will be concerned]." (Sukkah 24a:6.)
