Replace one thing you tolerate every day

Replace one thing you tolerate every day

The drawer that sticks, the dead bulb, the pillow, the chipped mug you keep reaching for.

Small daily irritations are invisible individually and heavy in aggregate. Each one is a tiny reminder that things are not quite right.

Make a list this week of everything that annoys you between waking and leaving the house.

Fix one a week. Ten weeks later the house feels different and nothing dramatic happened.
