Found a better way to cut drywall for outlets that avoids waste.

Why do the best life hacks always feel like finding a shortcut the hard way taught everyone? It's like we overcomplicate stuff for years before someone shows us the simple fix.

That trick where you screw the drywall up first then cut the hole from the back side is a total game changer. Saw a contractor do it with a multitool, just tracing the outlet box outline from inside the wall. Cuts out way less material and the fit is perfect every time, no giant gaps to patch. Seriously saves so much time and waste.

My flat-pack furniture manual had 47 steps, but the whole thing snaps together in five moves once you know the trick. So much stuff is just layers of bad instructions covering a simple solution.
