Lindagreen has the right idea with the pilot hole and masking tape. I always drill a small guide hole first, then use a sharp 3-inch hole saw at a low speed on the drill. The key is to pull the saw back out once or twice to clear the wood chips, which keeps it from binding and splitting the frame. Letting the tool do the work is way better than pushing hard.

Sometimes the best fix is just getting out of your own head. A free tour forces you to listen to someone else's story for a while. It's like hitting pause on your own problems. You stop worrying about the money or the mess up and just follow along. That mental break can be what actually lets you figure out the next step.

What's the weirdest thing you've found just by listening first?
