TIL I was sanding my drywall patches in circles like a total idiot for 2 years

My buddy watched me do one and asked why I was making swirl patterns and then showed me the cross-hatch method. Anyone else find out they were doing something really basic wrong way later than they'd like to admit?

Sanded in circles for like 4 years before someone told me. Cross hatch changed my life honestly.

36 hours of my life gone to useless circles. Cross hatch was like learning to breathe.

Four years sanding in circles? That's like watching someone try to open a door by pushing for four years before finding the pull handle.
