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. <\/p>\n
But Micky is the exact opposite (except with the laundry). She loves DIY, and she does it well. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
All I know is, these days I’m the king of sanding, painting, and laundry \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
