A lead mechanic in Dallas pointed out my sloppy wire routing on a Cessna 172 panel

He pulled me aside after a job and said, 'You're making a rat's nest for the next guy. Think about the 20-year tech, not just the sign-off.' I was just bundling everything together to get it done. Now I spend an extra 30 minutes per panel run, using proper clamps and leaving service loops. It makes troubleshooting way easier down the line. What's one small habit you changed after getting called out?

My boss caught me skipping the pre-flight checklist once.

Ever think shortcuts are fine until you see why the rules exist?
