I was holding the magnesium float wrong for a solid two years

My buddy from the crew in Tacoma was watching me finish a garage floor and just said, 'Dude, you're fighting it.' I had my hand way too far back on the handle, putting all my weight into it like a shovel. He showed me to choke up and let the tool do the work, just guiding it. The finish smoothed out instantly with half the effort. How many other little habits like that are we all carrying around without knowing?

It's like driving with the parking brake on, you just get used to the extra struggle.

Nah, that's overthinking it... sometimes you just gotta muscle through a job. If it gets done, who cares how you hold the tool?
