What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier?
For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they're much easier to grab.

Labeling things. I write simple instructions to myself so I don't have to remember things as much. It doesn't have to be formal stickers. It can be some masking tape and a pen. I just leave little notes for My Future Self
During lockdown I spent so my time considering and planning; trying to find a sophisticated labelling system for my pantry.
Colour coding for the top of spice jars so I could quickly find what I need. High quality stickers with neat, clear labels of what the item is, with the brand in pencil that could be altered if I switched to a different brand.
That system was completely fucking useless. ADHD means my motivation to uphold a system is completely fucked on some days. And the awkward half measures irritated me on my good days.
Now it's masking tape and a marker and pray it's legible. Because when it comes to this (and tbh, many things in my life) consistently average is better than inconsistently perfect.
The best system is one that works.
