Fixing a flat tire

While rotating my tires, I saw a nail head in a tire. Here is my fix.
1) Over inflate the tire.
2) Get tools ready.
3) Pull nail out and insert file.
4) Prepare plug and put rubber cement on it.
5) Insert plug and remove tool.
6) Clean off ends of plug.
7) Check the air pressure.

Although the tire wasn't leaking I would rather fix it on my terms than have it go flat on the highway.
