A Lesson from Your Kids


As adults, we’re supposed to exude maturity and responsibility and set an example for our children. We try to make sure they’re fed, warm, and in bed on time. We don’t always apply this same concern to ourselves, however, and this can be dangerous when we’re working on our homes. If you’re cold, hungry, or tired, you could start making mistakes, so pay attention to your comfort level. Shaking hands, a growling stomach, and fluttering eyelids are signposts on the road telling you to pull over, put your tools down, have some lunch, and maybe catch a quick nap. We’re viewed as a sleep-deprived nation, and there are plenty of accident statistics to affirm this view. You’re not going to save any time or keep to a schedule if you have to redo some of your work later because it’s faulty.
