Some examples: - owning extra power cords, batteries, memory cards, etc. for electronic devices - setting up a power strip and various charging or connecting cables where they're easy to reach (consider the recently-circulated pic of the cables clipped to the edge of the desk.) - own the right cooking utensils, pots, pans, maybe a slow cooker or rice steamer, and so on. There's no sense in frustrating yourself day after day because it's harder than it needs to be to make dinner. - have appropriately-sized and located garbage cans, recycling bins, clothes hampers, toy boxes, file cabinets, and other types of containers. - repair or replace broken stuff that regularly causes annoyance, like sticky file cabinet drawers.
Though syncing stuff might be a pain, depending on the nature of your work. Source code might be easy to share with git.
I have a laptop even though I don't commute to work with it. I like to take it along when traveling occasionally. Is this very funny?
having one just for home, maybe I can attach it to my lapdesk and reduce the wear and tear.
