I am 24 years old, so I haven’t been doing this for THAT many years.
I like to write things in a physical notebook as part of my process as I work.
I also use a mouse to interact with my computer.
Problem: Mouse on right side means no space for notebook on right side.
Solution: Move mouse to left side.
Question: Why didn’t I think of this earlier? It seems to me, on introspection, that I never noticed that the problem could be solvable, and therefore never actually tried to solve it.
Potential take away: Try to be mindful when you notice something annoying so you can ask yourself, can I solve this? If you don’t even notice the opportunity to be rational it’s hard to make things better.
