You ever notice how the stuff that's actually worth doing never fits into a neat time box? That's the real pattern. We're told to optimize everything, but quality has its own clock. A good fade, fixing a tricky engine problem, getting a recipe right. The world wants fast, but good just takes what it takes. Trying to rush it is how you end up with a bad version of the thing.
An entire morning slot for one fade? That is some serious dedication to the craft. I can't even get my own hair to look right in under an hour. You must have the patience of a saint.
