diana314's examples hit home, but I wonder if every expensive mistake needs to be a huge lesson. Last year, I forgot to renew my car registration and paid a $200 late fee that felt massive at the time. Now it's just a blip on the radar! Maybe some things are just costly blunders, not life-changing teachings.

But what if your hobby fuels your work instead? That creative time can recharge your brain for BETTER focus later. You just need to guard it like any important meeting.

You mentioned it taking five seconds with a torque wrench. In practice, it often takes a bit longer to set the torque and double check the setting. Especially with small bolts, if your wrench isn't made for low torque, you can still over tighten by mistake. It's still worth it, but being precise takes more than just a quick click.

Wait you're right about the quiet after the photo @thomas.kai, never noticed how creepy that actually is.

Used to agree, but now I see why rules matter.
