Uh, I spent a lot of time playing with Legos as a kid, but if you can find a time machine, there are probably a lot of way more profitable ways to put it to use than giving your past self some Lego sets.

If I'm taking apart things on my car, I'll do one side at a time even if it would be more efficient to do both at once so I have an un-monkeyed-with side for reference if I get confused putting it back together.

I tend to stay away from taking apart and reassembling electronics; I can't fix anything inside anyway unless there's an iFixit guide that I'm blindly following.

Most furniture projects break down into at most three (or thereabouts?) hierarchical steps for any single assembly. Which is to say, my spatial/assembly skills probably aren't actually that developed via building furniture.

Which is to say, great news if you want to build some furniture! Pick a simple project and wade in!
