[@KitchenerLeslie2]

One of my bosses thinks he’s fast. He’s throwing around materials and tools, running in circles, going out to the truck constantly, redoing work due to errors and unforeseen dilemmas. And there I am, drilling while thinking of layouts. Bringing in all the material I definitely need, working for a while thinking about what else I might need, going out to the truck only when I need to or when I have a full load of material I need. I get way more done and done correctly and efficiently.

There's the slow and steady wins the race saying for a reason. Don't work slow but stay organized and manage your time and you'll be efficient without effort.

[@nicknamednickify]

I really like this comment because of the staying organized part.

[@tomgentry2932]

Everything you said was spot on. Coming up through the trade, I had an early employer fire me for being slow and not picking things up fast enough. There came a tome several years down the road the things just clicked, and it seemed most things just started coming more naturally to me and I did get faster. So you can't let early "failures" affect your future.

That’s where I’m at right now. I’m a 2nd year apprentice. Very green still. Got in the trade late I’m about to be 37. I get called dumb and slow all the time. Kinda gets to you after a while. Nobody has the time to teach. Everything has to be done yesterday. So they expect you to know everything on your own.

Came down to the comments to make sure someone made a Shia LaBeouf joke. Happy to see it was the top comment.

[@nicknamednickify]

I'm a slow, meticulous type but the things that help me are: thinking ahead, planning, keeping a toolbelt with the tools I need in it for the task at hand. You don't have to stay slow; and it is possible to love yourself and still accept instruction (and criticism). I really like this video because it is a great conversation for two opposites to have. One of the worst things a slow guy could do (and I made this mistake for a long time and it aggravates people) is to say, "I'm just slow and I'll never be able to effectively change myself." It's okay to be who you are, whether fast and sloppy or slow and dependable, but you need to always have the attitude that you can receive instruction and that you can improve. Just do what these guys are doing and have these conversations with everyone you can. It is soooo easy for the slow guy to get beaten down in his mind (and we're our own worst critic), but keep the faith. And hopefully the fast guys will realize the slow guy does want to improve and it would be better to speak to him in an encouraging way whenever you give advice. We NEED you to do that for us. You know we just need more confidence, but mean-spirited criticism never gets us there. The guys in the video, the reason this conversation works is they accept each other, recognize each other's strengths and their own weaknesses, and they are willing to be open. Do that, and make a list of habits that you want to create--things that you know help you stay efficient. And then just work on doing those things every day.

[@Danirbrightside]

Wow, what incredible recommendations, they sound simple but in reality they are very useful on a day-to-day basis. It seems very crazy to me how I have experienced similar things, being a person with slow performance but simply by planning ahead and being organized my speed and the process to better understand and do everything faster has improved remarkably. Thanks, David

[@bobyelawolf]

Thank you for this video. I am in school now at 54 and will graduate in February of 2020. I am slow and I want to be accurate, not lazy. I don’t like to take breaks but work until its finished. I hope I can find a good mentor when I get into the field. Have a great days guys, Joe in PA

[@cioch84]

I’m got in late as well. I’m a 2nd year apprentice. Will be 37 dec 26. I feel so dumb and slow. And get called dumb and slow. I’m green. Bad it’s very hard to find a good mentor that is willing to teach and not be an asshole all the time just because they been doing it for 20 years.

[@cameronbadgwell7193]

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

[@wilburrrrr742]

As someone who has run the work for many years, there's one thing that makes me crazy. KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME Work is not where your social life should be. If you want to talk about the ball game, you better be able to multitask, and do it well. If talking makes you forget to tighten that setscrew or forget that measurement, then maybe you shouldn't be talking. I can accommodate slow workers as long as they are productive workers. Chatting with the A/C guy or checking your phone does nothing to further the ball down the field. Sorry if I sound like a prick, but this is my main pet peeve other than having to do shit twice.

[@SlothPossum]

yeah man I have been told by multiple employers that they love my attitude and work ethic, but my speed needs a lot of work. Very frustrating but if you work on it, especially being organized, you can find ways to speed up. Also with experience speed just naturally occurs as muscle memory builds

[@xzaksis]

For the slow meticulous types, hone in on your ability to do things right and make it a goal to improve your speed. For the fast types who might make a few blunders, hone in on your ability to be efficient and make it a goal to improve quality. Labeling yourself as fast or slow and boxing yourself in with "titles" will be more of a hindrance for you. Realize that you can always improve (there's always room for improvement) and that being cognizant of your traits, good or bad, will help you improve; that is, if you have the mentality to improve your trade work. Great video. I love how you cover all facets of the trade. Keep it up man!

[@FueledByRyan0]

Woke comment. I was waiting for them to mention the same thing. Regardless, if you are currently fast or slow, ALWAYS be looking at ways to improve or be more efficient. It is important, though, not to be seeking the effeciency for somebody else, or for your boss, etc. You SHOULD do it for yourself, to be more self-reliant. So that you know that in a very challenging situation, IT IS something you can and will be able to handle!

[@amb158]

I agree man. I mean I’m not a safety freak by any means, in fact when it comes to PPE I’m probably one of the worst I know, but, that’s because generally when I am not wearing PPE, I “know” that i can still be safe. For example when I’m working in the ceiling of a classroom or something like that, i might not wear my hard hat, or I might not wear my gloves when I’m not twisting wire, safety glasses? Please, i cant remember the last time I wore safety glasses when I wasn’t cutting something. But- in my opinion of course, all of that, is much safer than being careless because you’re rushing and not paying attention. I know I’m bad at safety sometimes and its something I’m working on a lot, but I’m never mindless about it, which is what happens when you rush and go too fast and get tunnel vision on the one thing you’re doing and not paying attention to what is going on around you. Just my opinion.

Tried 2 plumbing apprenticeships. I was always really slow. Although I always tried to do the best work I possibly could. I would finish sinks and have a guy look at it and tell me everything bad. Fix and try again over and over with everything I was doing. Maybe I tried to make everything perfect which led to me second guessing myself (which has always been a big problem for me) which then led to me stopping to think and taking up more time. It’s nice to hear respectable guys in the trades talking about this stuff. Definitely need more of it if we want more people in these trades!

I love the different perspectives on these conversations. When you start out and want things to be perfect it is hard to get outside of your head and just be a "doer" I love the trade and I'm now on my third year but I have that lack of confidence that stops me from just doing it. I tend to take longer time to do certain things and question my pace like I know I'm taking too long. I love how informative this podcast is. Good shit . I'm forsure like the apprentice and how he thinks. It's helpful when the journeyman understands that you are not slow bc you are bullshitting but that you lack a tad bit of confidence in it. I have to keep reiterating to myself , "I got this and there is no mistake I can't end up fixing" just to be the "doer" lol

Being cognizant that you second guess yourself a lot and it cost you time is a good place to start to be quick. I learned a long time ago I cared to much and took to much time.

I have a 13” Milwaukee job box that a have that i use to sit down when i put outlets but i will run circles around most electrician.

[@--JohnDoe]

I sit on my cooler when I install receptacles. And I'm fast. It's more about having a routine, rythym. I go around with a box and my cooler to sit on. In the box I keep it organized. Plugs, cover plates, pigtail wire, wire nuts impact, hand tools and a empty cover plate box for the trash. Big thing is not have to come back for any trash. Box under the plug flap out, even strip wire strippings into the box. Then when I do switches or lights I throw on the tool pouch. Think about all the time you will be putting receptacles in throughout your career. Do you want to be able to walk when youre 50? Do your feet fall asleep from being on your knees, sitteg on your foot? Quit on those slave drivers. Join the union. I do industrial work now.

If you always forget things. Bring most of it with you. I bring my husky rolling bag. And a few parts containers that hold all the usual wire nuts, screws, straps etc. The further the walk to the truck, the more you better think it all out, bring both plans. Mainly the job takes what it does, the employers want to keep your productivity high and accurate and certain knowledge and confidence low, so you stay under them as thier slave. But now I work union. Thank god. Everything is better The pay, benifits, pace of work, safety, nicer people, company provided tools other than basic hand tools. Everything about the union has been a dream for me. I have been making 5,500.00 a week. 80 hour weeks, o.t. is mandatory any hours over 8 a day, or saturdays. Double time is mandatory any hours over 10 a day, or sundays. No more will i get ripped off.

I find whenever I rush things, I tend to hurt myself, and I'll forget shit sometimes and end up having to redo some stuff mid-way through. I've recently switched from residential to industrial and everything is much bigger and just takes an awful lot more time. I kind of like it because most of it's exposed so you want it to look good and you need to make sure it's done right the first time, because redoing a big pull is a massive PITA and expensive.

A comment I passed on reddit that I remember is "If I can't do it right the first time, what makes you think I'll have time to fix it later."

Love the videos by the way ; inspiring & enjoyable

My first foreman noticed how I work slow, and said, "Try to hurry up whenever you get a chance." I learned to make up for working slow, by going fast when I can. That is why everyone always tells me to slow down when I walk. Just a force of habit.

Some people work fast enough to fix their mistakes

"I only have two speeds, and if you don't like this one, you sure as hell won't like the next one!" ⚡️👌😎

Thanks brother for the video!! I appreciate it

I been doing electrical work for 3 1/2 years and I am still in the world and feel like I am gradually getting faster. I’m in an electrical apprenticeship program and getting ready to pass my exam and take my journeyman test. But I feel like when the day comes they’ll expect so much from me. I hate for them to expect more than what I can do. Is that fine. I hate to fuck up and get scolded. I try to do good and right but it seems like a lot of people now in the trade don’t want to help and they rather throw you under the bus.

I would be trying to move crazy fast and doing that would slow me down because I'd forget about and make 4 trips to the truck. There's a happy medium

6:08 I'm 6 months into my Electrical apprenticeship, no school yet and this is what the company expects of me at this point in time...

[@ASAPJermz]

They're either delusional or have very high expectations of your abilities!

There’s a fine line between perfection and progress. Got to find it

[@kylewells6871]

Can definitely relate, I try to let it roll off my shoulder when someone lays into about "just getting it done", but at the end of the day I appreciate that they're trying to make me a better tech. My partner can really say some things that cut deep and make me feel like shit, but in a way it motivates me to be more efficient. Almost feels like a big brother little brother relationship. The world is way too fast paced to not be as fast as you can be at your job, there's always other people in line that can do the job as fast if not faster or better.

For me I like doing the same task In the same order every time. Repetitive motion decreases mistakes and increases speed in my experience. I’m in my second year so still a lot to learn

[@armymobilityofficer9099]

Just think of all the time that would be save if they eliminated "fuck. - ing, -ed" from their discussions.

Jjst found ur page and glad I did it very helpful and helped me refocus for what I have going on at work

[@TonyMontana-fs3lu]

Exercise. And lots of water. And stay focused and everyday try to be better and faster than the previous day

[@turbojoe2]

I ended up running things as a second year. My foreman (50+yo) blew himself up in a 347v panel. I took over the job and rocked it. Never looked back.

15:07 "3 minutes a piece" my boss said it should take 1 minute and I was still a first year. Wtaf.
