>> I swore off buying junky stuff a long time ago. Life’s too short to be surrounded by crap that’s going to break the first time you look at it wrong, student projects be damned.

Or, the items come to integrate themselves into personal rituals. Like you said, you want to own your things, and not vice-versa, so its nice to not stress over them, but have them joyfully integrated into your life.

I also have a glasses case that’s always holding either my regular glasses or sunglasses. My umbrella goes right to the umbrella holder. Huh, spelling it all out that sounds similar to my ADHD rituals, for good reason. I’ve done so many things until they’re automatic habits.
