Agreed, gismos are only part of the answer. It's well known that a 2 person team achieves more than 2 individuals working alone, for whatever reason, but DETAILED planning of every task in advance, making lists of parts & tools, making notes, (a jotter in the pocket always), these are ways in which a one-man operation can improve effectiveness.
We used to call this the Five Ps.
Poor Planning = Pathetic Performance.
- I left out the other P, as it's a profanity!
And WhiteRook, don't be disheartened by a lack of 'posted' responses, there are far more people reading than ever write in, so a post ALWAYS has value, (imho).
And my latest 'gismo'? it's the digital camera- what a boon to the memory is a good pic of a situation when back in the office.
