Hit my 100th phone screen replacement last night and it finally clicked

I've been fixing phones for friends and family about 2 years now and last night I did my 100th screen swap on an old Galaxy S9. The first one took me like 45 minutes and I broke the damn digitizer. Now I can knock one out in 8 minutes flat with a hairdryer and plastic pick. Something about hitting that triple digit number made me realize how much practice actually changes things. Anyone else hit a random milestone that surprised them with their own skill level?

Man it's wild how repetition just rewires your brain without you noticing. Same thing happens when you cook the same recipe enough times or drive the same route every day.
