There is a ton of DIY that I hate doing. And laundry. And in general most house hold chores. It’s just not my thing.
But Micky is the exact opposite (except with the laundry). She loves DIY, and she does it well.
Building the bee stand, and hives got me back in the spirit of building things, but I noticed something I know I need to fix. I measure once, cut twice way too often.
I dinged our front door pretty badly a month or so ago, and so I had to fill it, and repaint it. Again, I measured once, painted twice.
Doing these things where I don’t know the cheat codes is really frustrating. It’s slow. And I’m usually wrong no matter what I do.
But when I redid the front door today, it looked like it had been finished the right way. And I could hear in Micky’s voice that it didn’t bother her to look at anymore. And that feels so good.
I’ve been thinking about how to apply this at the office as well. If I know the answers am I waiting too long to share them with my team? What’s the balance of teach vs do? And how do I give that feedback successfully?
And on the flip side, am I demanding the right feedback from my peers? Are they letting me fail too much? And how do we help each other more?
All I know is, these days I’m the king of sanding, painting, and laundry 🙂
