My DIY monitor stand took 6 hours and I still messed up the angle

I thought building a simple wooden monitor stand from scrap pine would take maybe an hour on a Saturday. Six hours later I was still sanding and re-measuring because I cut the sides at 5 degrees instead of 10. My eyes were going cross eyed trying to get the riser height just right for my neck. Ended up using a $15 angle finder from Harbor Freight that saved the build. Has anyone else spent way too long on a simple desk project that should've been quick?

Built my own monitor stand once too, took 5 hours and it came out crooked so my monitor looks like it's doing the Leaning Tower of Pisa impression lol.

Right? Mine came out so crooked it made my whole desk setup look like a funhouse mirror. Why do we even try woodworking when it just fights back like that?
