Holding your coffee two minutes away doesn't mean anything... steel beams don't wait for nobody. The real issue is people getting too comfortable with their own "gut feelings" instead of trusting the actual rigging process. Every job site has rules for a reason, and if you start second guessing the crane crew every time, you're just slowing things down for everybody. Most close calls come from guys who think they know better than the engineers who designed the lift plan in the first place. You gotta trust the system or you're gonna drive yourself crazy checking everything yourself. Sounds like you got lucky, but that doesn't mean your way is the right way to do things going forward.

Stopped trying to tweak my guitar tone for months. I had this whole pedalboard setup with exact settings on everything, thinking I needed that one perfect sound for recording. One day I just plugged straight into the amp with nothing else and hit record. Sounded raw and actually way more natural than all that processed stuff. Now I just set everything to noon and play. Half the time I spent was just tricking myself into thinking the details mattered more than just doing the thing.
