Makes you wonder what other shop fixes are hiding in plain sight.

When I was teaching my cousin to bind cookbooks, we used a mix of white glue and a bit of water to control the mess. From what I've seen, that method lets the glue hold well without soaking through the maps too much. If you press the pages under a heavy book for a full day, it helps smooth out any bumps from extra glue. Take this with a grain of salt, but those glued-up spots often become the most loved parts later on.

Genius move, solves so many problems.

Combine book smarts with daily tasks by setting aside time each week to study new concepts. For example, after fixing a network issue, review the related certification material to understand the theory behind it. This builds a mental library that connects real problems to formal knowledge, making both stick better. What kind of course are you starting with, and how do you plan to fit it into your schedule?

Man that's the worst. Just had everything sorted too. Stuff never stays organized for long.
