I ran into this when teaching my son to tie his shoes. He now ties his shoes “upside down” from me, because I tied it from my perspective. It’s surprisingly hard to tie shoes in slow motion, it took some practice by paying attention to myself tying shoes quickly.
Now I’m wondering if you can tell a kid is from an “even” or “odd” generation by which way they tie shoes…
This Ian guy's shoe-tying tip you've linked is one of the most universally useful life-improving pieces of knowledge I have, which I try to evangelize to anyone I know who will listen. The only facts whose impact comes close are mostly household tips:
- cheap liquid dishwasher detergent including in the prewash cup instead of costly pods that deprive the prewash cycle of soap
- Put bleach in the washer's bleach dispenser and use hot water for any light sheets, no, it doesn't hurt prints or fade light colors
- cook anything you can fit in the air fryer to decrease total time ~70% vs an oven
