PSA: I started logging every single wire I touched on a repair and it cut my rework rate in half
About six months ago, I was getting killed by callbacks on a CRJ-700 project, mostly for simple continuity issues I missed. I bought a cheap notebook from the gas station and forced myself to write down every wire number, connector, and pin I verified, even if it seemed obvious. Last week I checked my logs, and I've gone from maybe one callback every two weeks to just one in the last two months. It's annoying at first but now I feel naked without that notebook. Anyone else have a dumb simple habit that ended up being a game changer?

That sounds like a paperwork nightmare that would slow me down to a crawl. I tried a detailed log system on a 737 project and spent more time writing than actually fixing things. The extra fifteen minutes per job adds up fast, and my boss noticed the drop in productivity right away. For simple continuity, a quick double-check with a meter has always been good enough for me.
