I thought glue was for hacks. Real woodworkers rely on tight joints. Then a client's table came loose. Glue fixed it for good. Now I use it on all my projects. It adds hidden strength. My work holds up better.
Ever tried writing it down when you mess up the same thing? I started keeping a short list of my own repeat mistakes. Forcing myself to write the correction next to it made my brain slow down and actually process it. Now I check that list before I start similar tasks and it cuts down the repeat errors a ton. It feels silly but it works way better than just thinking about it.
