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.

Overstock.
Buy two bottles of cleaner. One in the kitchen, one in the bathroom. Tool box lives in the garage, but I have spares in the kitchen drawer. Trash can in every room. Extra shoelaces sitting on the shoe rack. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and it makes life much easier when you don’t have to look for something.
Extra shoelaces? I don’t remember ever needing extra shoelaces ever in my life.
This is such a generational thing. My parents and grandparents would get shoes and have them resoled periodically. With a little care, a pair of shoes were expected to last decades. You used to see shoe repair shops in every neighborhood. I can’t remember the last time I brought a pair of shoes that could be resoled.
Shoes that can be resoled are way, way more expensive than shoes that can’t be. (See also Sam Vimes’ “boots” theory of socioeconomic unfairness)
I’m currently wearing a pair of boots manufactured in 1982. They where my grandfather’s. I’ll have them repaired for as long as I can find a cobbler to do it. New laces on occasion and shoe polish every few months.
I disagree. I had a pair of cheap elastic sided boots from Rivers resoled, and my partner once got new heels put on his worn down Kmart shoes. It is possible to get shoes cheaper than the cost of resoling them.
IIRC most cobblers will work on Birkenstocks.
The day when you will,you’ll see that this is really smart.
My work boots typically go through 2-3 sets of laces over their lifespan.
You sound like someone who has never lived in a small space.
Adding to this buy extra phone chargers for your work desk, car, suit case, and sofa so most any time you have a charger and cable ready to go.
How could I forget that??
