What I want to take away...
1. Spend time thinking about how you work. Be willing to experiment, to change things up and to learn.
2. Take the time to do the right job. Don't rush. Don't waste.
3. Check lists are a powerful tool for project management.
4. Put your tools away and clean up at the end of the day. Treat your workplace as something important, a place that lets you be efficient and effective.
5. When you are thinking of buying a new tool, borrow one, or buy one cheap. Lean about how you will use it, and if it is genuinely useful. Once you destroy or return the cheap tool, then you are better prepared to buy something expensive.
6. Every tool can be a hammer.
