Moved my corner leads to string lines, fought it for months

Picked up corner leads when I started laying block up in Akron, figured they kept everything square and I was real comfortable with them. A 60 year old mason came by the job and watched for a bit, said my corners were slowing me down. He set two pins and pulled a string, had me lay the whole run without checking a level once. Tried it on my next garage pour and cut my time by a good third, plus the wall came out dead straight. Anyone else stick with an old habit until someone shows you the faster way?
