Showerthought: Letting my cousin watch me work improved my focus
Most guys in the shop say having family around is a distraction and should be avoided. Last month, my cousin visited and sat quietly while I was inspecting landing gear. Having him there made me slow down and verbalize each step out loud. I NOTICED a tiny crack I would have missed if I was rushing like usual. Now I believe a calm observer, even a non-mechanic, can help you catch details. We should not be so quick to shut out our people from the hangar. Their presence can actually make the job SAFER.

Yeah, when you said it breaks your concentration, I totally get that! But for detailed work, explaining each step out loud can actually help you focus better.
