Had a talk with a lady who told me my brush technique was all wrong

I was sweeping a house last Tuesday and this older woman watched me work for like 10 minutes. Then she came over and said I was going at the flue tiles too hard, that I was scraping them instead of brushing. She used to do this job with her dad back in the 70s. She showed me this slow twist motion she always did and said it cut her cleanup time in half. I tried it on the next job and honestly it worked way better. Has anyone else gotten tips from random homeowners that actually stuck?

Got a tip from an old timer at the gym once about my deadlift form. Told me to stop craning my neck up like a turtle. Fixed it in ten seconds and my back felt way better the next day.

Catch me craning my neck like a confused giraffe trying to read a menu from across the gym.
