Hit my 500th sweep last Tuesday and it changed my view

I crossed 500 chimney sweeps last week on a house in the older part of town. That number made me realize I've been going too fast for too long, missing small creosote patches. Anybody else hit a milestone that made you slow down and rethink your method?

Hit that same kind of number a few years back and it really made me stop and pay attention. Slowing down helped me catch a lot of small stuff I'd normally blow past.

Slowing down just lets me overthink things, not catch them.

Wait... you actually hit that number? Like, a perfect 100? That's wild. I don't think I've ever seen that happen in real life, just heard about it online. Slowing down would probably make me miss things too, but hitting that specific milestone must have been something else.
