Yeah, doing those wrist circles every hour like danielowens said is smart. I'd add doing a quick warm-up before you even start cutting, just rotating your wrists and opening and closing your hands a bunch. It sounds silly but getting the blood moving first really helps me on days with lots of repetitive stuff.

Isn't that the best kind of compliment? I fixed a friend's kitchen drawer once and her mom called me a "domestic wizard," which felt pretty great.

Standing in Dealey Plaza last fall made the single bullet theory seem obvious.

Oh man, you just described my entire brain! I'm the king of turning a simple choice into a whole crisis. I once spent twenty minutes staring at two nearly identical shades of gray paint at the hardware store. My friend finally just pointed at one and said "this one" to save me. So yeah, I'm painfully familiar with the overthinking loop!
