How fast do you work?

Guess we have a Minnesota theme going... Same for me.

I've never been to Minnesota, especially not the dead of winter, but if the molasses flows as slow as my work does, it's pretty dang slow.

As others have mentioned, with yard maintenance, home repairs, travel out of town for work and pleasure, church, time spent with my wife (much too little), playing with my daughter, and - oh yeah - work, I don't really have a lot of contiguous time to spend on any project. The start up and shut down time really eats me up. Plus I often have to abandon what I'm doing without even putting away tools and materials, then a home repair project comes up and more tools and materials gets dumped around the original pile, until I have to spend a whole weekend just cleaning up and organizing again.

I usually work pretty fast. I tend to hurry myself because I know my shop time is limited. My pace gets me in trouble all the time as I live with a 90% solution rather than doing it as well as I am able, just to keep up the pace. I am usually happy with the end results but the shortcuts haunt you forever.
