Started logging every lift's weight and balance in a small notebook.
My accuracy went way up and my boss noticed.

Actually read something about that in a trade magazine last month. They said writing stuff down forces your brain to really see the numbers, and you start to notice patterns you'd otherwise miss. What looks like slowing down to scribble can actually stop you from making a huge, time-wasting mistake later. Isn'tt it funny how the simple fix is often just paying closer attention from the start?

Noting numbers by hand does force you to pay attention, like brooke_fisher25 mentioned. I've caught so many small errors just by seeing them on paper that my brain glossed over on screen. @paigesullivan's right that speed matters, but a quick scribble now beats wasting an hour fixing a mistake later.

All that notebook logging seems like extra busywork that slows you down. Getting hung up on perfect numbers can make you second guess your gut feeling during a real job. Sometimes you just need to eyeball it and keep things moving, not stop to write a book. That boss who noticed probably just saw you standing around writing instead of working. Doesn't all that scribbling just complicate a simple task?
