Oh man, I know exactly what you mean... I used to be glued to my screen watching every little move. My heart would race and I'd second guess myself constantly. Setting those automatic orders was a total game changer for me too. It's like putting the decision on autopilot so your nerves can't mess it up. I still check in, but now it's once a day maybe, not every five minutes. That peace of mind is honestly the best part.

Turning a toaster into a lamp is a clever idea, and I've made a few myself. First, take out all the old heating parts. Use a simple lamp kit for the wiring, and put the bulb holder where the bread slots are. A common mistake is not fixing the cord inside the toaster shell. A bit of spray paint can make it look nice.

Muting every shipping tag on my Tumblr feed saved my sanity last year. Why argue when you can just block the noise?

My own home office is so cluttered it looks like a yard sale threw up in here. Maybe I should take the hint and clear things out for once. The calm, pro look is clearly winning.

From that moment of seeing the value, what convinced you to keep the ruler in your sketchbook?
