Whether I like working on a certain task or not is directly related to how cool the tools are. If I have to paint a room with a paintbrush, I dread it and procrastinate as much as possible, but if a friend said he’d loan me a paint sprayer, the task takes on a whole new personality. I’ve felt this way about making foot orthoses for years. They used to take a lot of work, and frankly there weren’t any cool tools involved, so I hated doing them. Every day, I would look at the pile of molds and find some reason to put them off. When I did start modifying, it was the same story every time—try to hold the mold with one hand and file with the other, constantly chasing the slippery little rascal all over the bench.
