Tetris is an oddly satisfying game that somehow brings out the perfectionist in you and well, let’s face it, influence your organization skills in life. Sort of. Laugh if you may, but why do you think Reddit users and the meme community liken a well-arranged dish rack to a winning game of Tetris? Right.
On a more serious note, though, we bring up Tetris because of this master bricklayer’s impressive technique.
Work smarter, not harder! Check him out.
The swift motion in which he picks up brick after brick and lays each one alongside the others shows that speed doesn’t always equate to a job poorly done.
In fact, this very technique resulted in an attractive, red brick driveway.
It’s an oddly satisfying video that encapsulates focus, energy, and efficiency.
While it’s quite calming to watch videos of individuals demonstrating calligraphy flawlessly or repainting a room cleanly, this particular one stands out because, well, how many satisfying videos of bricklayers do you come across online?
Wired magazine summarizes the #OddlySatisfying hashtag and the videos tagged accordingly with a simple statement:
“There have been numerous reports that watching videos of slime and other things under the oddly satisfying umbrella help make people feel relaxed and calm.”
With all the chaos online, who wouldn’t want a calming visual experience showing up on the timeline every now and then?
This bricklayer definitely leaves no room for mistakes.
Thanks to his deftness and precision, the arrangement of bricks not only created a nice pattern but added aesthetic value to the outdoor space as well.
YouTube users couldn’t help but sound off in the comments section about the bricklayer’s impressive skills.
“I bet this guy is REALLY good at Tetris.”
“Legend has it… this guy is the Tetris world record holder.”
We think so, too!
So the next time you see a colleague or anyone who works at a faster pace compared to everyone else, don’t be so quick to make assumptions on the quality of output.
After all, not everything done in haste is automatically mediocre. In fact, some people have a way of developing their own techniques, mastering each one, and applying them in such a way to produce incredible results — and still have time to do more.
Imagine how happy and satisfied this bricklayer’s clients are!
He’s such an efficient worker that we can’t help but wonder just how booked his calendar is with jobs and how much he gets done in a week.
If only everyone else demonstrated the same focus and adroitness! Businesses would boom, employers and employees would thrive, and customer satisfaction is always guaranteed.
And going back to just how influential Tetris can actually be on our habits and organizational skills, Emotion shares,
