Tools are so essential that their absence can put work on hold. Without tools, no matter how passionate and skillful we are, we become helpless, and the best we can do is to wait until tools arrive.
I remember a time when I was fixing my room. The mason wanted to cut blocks, and he didn't have the right tool for that, so he decided to improvise by using his block trowel.
He managed to cut a few blocks with it, but along the line, the trowel broke. Funny enough, he did not carry an extra trowel, guess what? That work had to stop until he went home and brought another one.
He was ready to work, he was competent, but when the tool spoiled, he was limited. Tools determine work, and the more advanced the tool is, it makes work easy and better.
Thank God for technology, work has become so easy that we can attend to them remotely.
Certain jobs now allow people to be in the comfort of their homes and attend to tasks.
Most people now prefer to work online for many reasons, and I am one of them. My digital jobs give me time for myself, and it even pays better. Although it has its bad side too, it fits my plan perfectly.
As someone who works digitally, one of my basic tools is my phone. For the past three to four years, since I began my crypto journey, my phone has been my office and my tool.
I love the fact that it is very easy to move with. Due to this quality, I can work literally everywhere.
Whether I am home or outside, when work comes, provided there is a good Internet connection, I am good to go. That has made it very easy for me to be consistent and disciplined with work.
One of the biggest challenges I have with this tool is having to charge it to be able to use it. Unfortunately, power supply is one of our biggest challenges in this part of the world.
Sometimes, I face issues like the phone shutting down even when I have work to do due to a lack of stable electricity, and it is very annoying.
To tackle this issue, I bought a power bank, and it has been very helpful. Unless the power goes off for a long time, the power bank sustains me.
The absence of this tool will mean I have lost my job. Without the phone, I can't have access to my work. As I said, it is both the office and the tool. Imagine the office is gone. What are you going to work on?
The phone is very important to me, and that is why I am being very careful with it. I know we can't tell what will happen in the next minute, but at least if we play our role well in taking care of our belongings, the risk gets less.
