MODERATORS
Purely based on population I'm an exceptional climbing instructor.
I'm quite good at getting Macs to do the stuff I need them to. The vast majority of people alive right now will have never touched one for a number of reasons, so I guess I'm above average at it. I can easily patch old ones with Opencore these days.
I know more about radio and podcast production than the average person, given that I have a degree in it. Not that I was ever successful in that field, but I know how to do it to a high standard.
I'm also really good at guessing the year when radio shows do a guess the year competition. I listened to a lot of pop radio from about 1985 to 2010, so can usually place myself to when a song was popular.
Time management.
Ive become a fucking pro at squeezing as many tasks into a day as I possibly can. I frequently get told they have no idea how I keep on top of things. I basically work 2 and a half full time jobs for people at the same company, and I accomplish it by overlapping my time and billing per item not per hour
Any hot tips for the rest of us?
I book service calls (repairs). Between calls and especially using my hands free while driving between service calls, I return phone calls and texts. When I get where I'm going, if I'm ever early, I respond to emails or place calls. If I finish a thing early or ever have to wait for people, I return texts calls and emails while waiting.
Ive also aced driving distance between places in the city where I work so I'm able to build a solid schedule without running behind.
At night, to clear my head, I schedule a bunch of texts and emails to send off first thing in the morning. Gives the impression I'm working even though I'm probably still asleep.
So what now, experience or skill?
