Two columns sounds smart but my brain would just ignore the right side all day. I tried something close with a sticky note on the side and it worked for maybe a week. Splitting tasks from notes in writing seems like the real trick here.

Phoenix humidity is no joke, so I get why that seam looked fine after a day, but that's actually the trap. The glue and the carpet are still releasing moisture for a week or two after install, and power stretching works out that slow creep that a knee kicker just can't handle, especially on 4,000 sq ft of open floor where the substrate isn't perfectly level. I've seen commercial tile pucker at the seams three weeks later when it was only knee kicked, and that's a callback you eat with a crew for a full day, plus the client's pissed about their open space. The 3 hours you saved on that job might cost you 8 hours on a fix, and your reputation takes the hit, not the foreman's. In my experience, power stretching is worth the extra time on anything over a standard residential room, but maybe compromise on the short hallway runs where a kicker does fine. Take this with a grain of salt, but I'd rather be slow and done once than fast and doing it twice.
