The fun bit!
I know what you mean by speeding things up. All those projects I have on the go around here have come to a complete stop. In fact things are starting to go backwards it would seem.
Only practice gets things done quicker.
Do you some days wake up with a clear head and clear up the mess, put aside the crap, and put sharp blades in everything? that's when you feel like getting stuff done! I wish I had more of those days. Maybe when the sun comes out again, huh.
