Pass down your knowledge

Teach a skill to someone else and you’ll master it more deeply than you ever will by simply performing it on your own. Training another person requires us to consider the whys and hows of a technique in a way that we simply don’t take the time to do when we’re working on our own.

Luckily, candidates to train are easy to find. Co-workers, family members and friends are often eager to learn how to perform work around the home, and children are endlessly fascinated by home improvement projects. Pass on your knowledge to another budding DIYer, and you’ll sharpen your skills and feel good about doing it.
