Hey there! This post contains affiliate links. That means if you decide to buy something you've discovered through one of my links, I make a little bit o' cash. Some of the links are affiliate links, some of them aren't. Either way, I only recommend stuff I use myself and really love. Just wanted to be up front about that. OK—back to your regularly scheduled post.
My wife revives mid-century modern furniture. She was upholstering a chair the other day using tacks and a hammer. She didn’t have a tack hammer so she decided to use just regular old hammer. And it worked…sort of.
At the end of the day she’d finished one small section. Since a regular hammer is also way heavier than a tack hammer, she could barely lift her arm.
We’ve done a lot of pretty major DIY projects, too. The first time we demolished a patio we used a sledgehammer and a crowbar (because we are obviously gluttons for punishment).
The next time we tackled a big landscaping job we rented a Bobcat and ripped right through it. We could also walk upright and had functioning arms the next day. You can make just about anything a tool when you need to, but you sure curse a lot less when you’re using the right tool for the job.
The same thing is true with WordPress sites
Each project calls for specialized tools. If you ignore that and try to make every project work with your preferred tool, you’re in danger of becoming that person who can only use a hammer, so they make every problem a nail.
