Look at what you're doing and using spacial reasoning.
So many days, I think I was the only person at my work who played with 3d puzzles or Legos growing up.
I didn't realise how much other people didn't do this until i looked at a corner for five minutes, then came back having built a basic speaker stand that fitted perfectly and the husband lost his goddamn mind
(I mean basic, i just cut a base down and mounted a pole on it)
What do you mean by fitted perfectly? Like it had a right angle to fit in the corner or something more than that?
yeah. Like I said, it was seriously basic
This is why I'm thrilled to be working at a place packed with other AFOLs.
I've always tried to do this and conceptualized it as "square up to your work". I would love to teach my sons this. I was just finding myself at weird angles trying to do something or having the tools or items I was using scattered. It helps so much to get your space organized!
Sometimes I'm kinda dumb about this, but dear God I agree.
We use these things call E Track Straps at work for years. They only really work right in one position, but for some reason, I'm the only one who can put them in the right position. I don't think anyone's even managed it by accident.
But yeah, growing up, legos, block toys, kinetics, things like that. When I got into video games, I always preferred the FPS games. Things like Quake or Halo needed you to understand the map layout and plan around the physics of the players and weapons.
