inPSA: A librarian in Tulsa told me my DNF list was a reading log, and now I finish way more
Honest take, short books win. My quitting log showed me most of my DNFs were 400 pagers that I never had a real shot at anyway. Give a 250 page book three sessions and you are basically done.

inThe 2 minute check a retired tech in Mesa showed me before I touch a single coax
Does the breaker panel even tell you the whole story though? A breaker can be on and the outlet still reads fine until you put a load on it, so I check the outlet itself with a plug tester and hit the reset buttons too. Trusting the panel alone is how you end up drilling into a live wire like Ray almost let happen.

inBought a $30 torque wrench for carbon parts and it saved a customer's frame
My old shop had a Park Tool TW-1.2 torque wrench that got used on every single carbon bar and stem install. It is set for 5 Nm and you cannot over-tighten with it. We stopped three or four expensive mistakes a month with that one simple tool. People just do not realize how little force carbon needs. That click from the wrench is the sound of not buying a new fork.
