Sometimes, in the middle of doing what many would consider mindless and boring, you realize that you’re actually paying some important bits of attention.
For example, if you’re cutting long strips into squares, it pays to use the previous cut to rest the back end of the ruler on. That way you can press straight down on the cutting side and your rotary cutter is more likely to cut perpendicular to the mat, making all the pieces the same size.
Ok and a good movie helps get it done too.
