STOP sweeping the EQ, train your EARS to KNOW frequencies!
When you reach for an EQ, do you know *exactly* what you're going to do with it? If not, you're actually _using the EQ_ to figure out _how to EQ_ the sound, which is not only inefficient, it may be preventing you from mixing faster and more intuitively. Gregory Scott, Kush Audio's plugin and hardware designer, offers a simple ear- and brain-training exercise to help sharpen your skills and your ears at the same time.
