My move to faster cuts changed my shop for the better

Isn't the goal to meet client needs without wasting their time? You've tuned your process to give great cuts quickly, which respects everyone's schedule. That way of working likely draws more clients than sticking to old ways.

TIL my local hardware store is selling counterfeit power tools

Oh man, this hits close to home. I bought a suspiciously cheap cordless drill last year, and the battery died after two uses. I'm pretty sure the only thing it was powerful enough to drive was my own disappointment. My neighbor saw me trying to use it and just shook his head. He said the sparks I saw were a feature, not a bug. Have you had any close calls with the fake stuff?

Pro tip: Appointment reminders felt like extra work, but they saved me from a empty chair day.

Used to completely blank on appointments all the time... my doctor's office switched to automated calls and it was a game changer. That little nudge is all it takes to get it back on my radar. Such a small bit of work to avoid the whole mess of a missed slot... totally worth it. Helps their schedule run smooth and saves me a late fee.

Your friend's idea that sleep apps sell data to insurance companies isn't totally accurate. They usually strip out personal details and bundle it with other users' info. That bundled data might go to researchers or for ads, not directly to insurers. But her worry points to the real problem, which is how much data those apps take in the first place.
