Hit 200 shutter repairs this week and realized my bench setup was costing me time
I've been tracking repairs for the last 6 months, just out of curiosity. Crossed 200 shutter fixes yesterday. When I went back and looked at my numbers, I noticed I was spending an extra 8 minutes per repair just walking back and forth for tools. Moved my most-used spanner wrenches and screwdrivers closer to my main bench, right into a magnetic strip. Already shaved off about 3 minutes per job. Anyone else track their repair times and find random time drains like that?

Oh come on, tracking every minute just turns a fun hobby into another job.

Is it really that serious, @the_mia? I mean, if tracking a few miles helps you remember a cool route or see how you improved, that's one thing. But logging every single rest stop or how fast you tied your shoes? That's overkill. Most people just want to enjoy the ride or the run, not turn it into a spreadsheet contest. If it stops being fun, what's the point of doing it at all?
