Shoutout to the person who suggested using a single pen for a whole month

I was getting overwhelmed by my 48-color set and switching pens constantly, so I forced myself to use only a black 0.5mm Pilot G2 for all of April, and it actually made me focus on the content instead of the colors.

PSA: Nailed a video call from a hostel common room in Lisbon

The background noise was loud but the client loved the energy. Really chuffed it went so well.

Why is no one mentioning the risk of using old templates with new standards? It caused a big error on my last job.

I was wrong about keeping to myself on the job site

Used to think my business was just running the dredge and that was it... didn't need to chit-chat. But then this old-timer from the marina next door kept waving me down, and I finally listened. He pointed out a sandbar shift that wasn't on any of our charts... would've grounded us for sure. Now I make a point to say hello to the folks nearby, ask if they've seen anything odd. That five-minute talk saved us a huge headache and maybe some gear. Honestly... it's way better than working in a bubble.
