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.

    I don’t buy personal electronics, phone cases, or other items in black if I have the option. Not quite as rigorously I’ve stopped buying black or dark clothing where possible. Decades of buying everything in black or darker shades as the default and at some point I realized it’s pretty damn bland and makes everything harder to find if lost.

      I’m the opposite, I started buying everything in black. Makes choices easy and I don’t have to worry about matching colours or whatever lol

      I buy all my electronics in black, because they can last decades and still look fine. Most white or colored stuff become yellowish with time.

      I’ve done the same with a lot of “easy to lose” things; I’ll go for white or other bright colors so it’s easier to spot and harder to misplace or forget. I lost my water bottle the other day because it was nighttime and the bottle is black.
