I used to skip cleaning my trowel between mixes

Thought it was a waste of minutes when I was in a rush. Then I got a bad set on a critical joint that cost me hours to fix. Now I wipe it down every time, no exceptions.

Back when I worked construction, I learned that same lesson.

Yeah but sometimes you gotta move fast in construction too lol. Overthinking every little thing can cost you just as much time as rushing.

The key is to double-check everything before you commit. Rushing leads to mistakes that take longer to fix. Taking that extra minute saves hours later.
