I also must admit, I have never been a slow-moving individual, I rush everything I do, I think I need to SLOW down and observe, operate and complete one step at a time, in the correct order and precise.
I have similar problem myself, but I learned how to "manage myself" over the years to the acceptable level of "rush"
Sometimes slight discrepancies that happen in the course of refining push you to the deeper understanding of the subject. I do not mean making some dumb mistakes, but some conceptionally OK things, which happen to proceed bit funky or not as planned. You just need to be dilligent, moderate your "rush" a bit and always want the answer "why ?".
As an example, blackening of the Ag precipitate when cementing on copper. I also didn´t known what is going on. Firstly, I just thought that it is just more finely divided silver, but when the powder fell from the copper surface, I clearly saw blackish colour on the surface. I put the copper out, washed it with water, and wiped the surface with bit of paper towel to obtain that mysterious black powder.
Putting the towel into HCl revealed extremely faint green i doubt my eye only see it because i expect it
but one pour of ammonia into the test sample developed nice blue colour = black stuff contained copper.
So then I learn that stronger Ag solution can passivate copper and thus contamine the Ag cement.
Similarly, cloudy solution of electrolyte is clearly a sign of something which shouldn´t happen. Then comes the hard part - finding what is going on and how to prevent it. From my experience, cloudiness could arise when pH of solution is too high. If this isn´t the case, there is probably some impurity in the solution. Or just anode mud leaking from the basket
Learning comes in so many different ways, you just cannot consider all at any moment. But you can focus, study, self-test the hypothesis, and this will help you to tune up your procedures and raise the quality of your refined products
and it also apply to anything in the life, not just refining.
