Tracking hours instead of counting tasks is the smart move. Once you know how long a job takes, you can actually plan your day. For rocky soil, a digging bar is a total game changer to break it up before you use the post hole digger. Did you find any tricks to speed things up after those first few posts?

My buddy did his whole tax season from a cabin in Montana, lmao. He said the quiet and no distractions actually made him way more productive. Totally changed how he sees remote work now.

Actually, sometimes you gotta try the hard way first. That's how you learn the real tricks, you know? Saving a wall repair is a huge win when it works.

A few lost days are just the cost of getting good at the tough stuff.
