@@Onthetrowel There's an expression used in a lot of trades... "Use your head to save your legs" (get everything you need out of the van / stores and to the work zone in one trip, don't go back and forth all day collecting this and that, then those...) No doubt you do that, since you've also, and quite brilliantly, explained "how to use your head to save your back" by "counting dips" at about 17 minutes in... The number of times I've been told that this that or the other bit of wasted time and effort "was only a few seconds"... But it's a few seconds times thousands of instances every year... 3 seconds x 1,000 = 50 minutes... and that would just be four instances of wasting three seconds per day at work... We had an apprentice (not plastering ) on one site, to whom every day was day one... Site was remote from shops, but he arrived every day without his lunch, without a drink, and without his cigarettes... Never learned...
