I used to try to smash through everything as quick as I could. I would've told you I was just quick and efficient but I think the reality was I was usually tired or hungover or daydreaming about whatever thing and just didn't have the attention span to do a good job.

I've been self employed for the last 10 years or so, which means extra efficiency on my part doesn't reward anyone else.

However, during that time I've become a lot more methodical and diligent. I am consistently accurate. Basically because I need to own any oversights, which can be very costly, I make far fewer.
