A wise man once told me laziness breeds efficiency. Now, I’m far from lazy, but I have always agreed in the motto: “Work smarter, not harder.” For example, back in my dimmer guy days, I used to coil my multi-cables from the box to the stage floor and then send most of that coil in the air. Then double handle it by re-routing the excess to the dimmer area and coiling again. My friend said to me one day, “Hey buddy, just make a fly loop, and that way you only coil the cable once.” He was right! Why coil that cable any more than you have to? “Laziness breeds efficiency” wins again!
