As a carpenter, I learned how to paint a room by trial and error. I spilled, spattered, and lost control of a lot of paint in my day—and I worked way harder than I had to.

Once the fluid is loaded in the brush or roller, it’s only going to flow as fast as it’s going to flow. Fluid dynamics. Good brushes and rollers help. But where you can really save time, i.e. ‘go faster’, is by not wasting motion.
