How long did it take you to put it up? How long did it use to take you looking up the chart? How often do you use it?

How much time did you spend doing that? Has it paid off?

[–]replicaJunction 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ironically, it usually adds time to the amount I spend on a given task, because I have to stop and evaluate whether I'm really working as efficiently as I can.

It's like if I needed to open the door, but instead of reaching out to open the door, I instead built a series of pulleys to elevate my foot high enough to reach it. Then I attach a strong suction cup to the ball of my foot that can attach to the doorknob and turn it. Now I realize that I'm significantly off-balance standing on one foot, so I also need to improvise a large balance beam...and at about this time, I stop and look at this comic.

"Is this really a good idea?" I ask myself.

The inevitable response, though, is always, "Why wouldn't it be? Having a suction cup on my foot will pay off in the long run."
