Alex, mind untethering is my continual quest, too! You reminded me of my most ignored until recently in #7. To declutter one small thing every day.

Phew, I shall get back to doing that in the morning before getting sidetracked thinking I just have to get rid of that whole pile. 😂

Great read, Alex! We are like-minded souls and I'll giving you a Big Girl virtual hug 🤗

Since you have more than a Baker's Dozen images at the top of your article, I thought it is only reasonable to have at least a dozen points. Since I am a "mechanical product designer," I would add the following 2 points, as a way of inspiring more imagination for thinking about handling things we do every day.

- BoNote: Everything is “cheaper by the dozen, so … “What if … Since we live in a physical world … might there be a better way to stay organized, access items faster, or be safer?”

- 11. Is there a different way to store these so it is easier to … access … move … remove … replace … or turn over?

- 12. Can it be larger … , smaller … , narrower … , wider … turned … , or upside down?
