Most people’s response to a small daily irritation is to absorb it, and after a while they stop registering it at all. The ones who build things keep the irritation alive long enough to ask why it is like this. That is the whole move: not genius, just a refusal to adapt to something that did not have to be that way.

Keep a short list this week of things that annoy you twice or more. A door that sticks, a form nobody can read, a step at work that wastes ten minutes. Pick one and change it, even slightly. The habit of fixing starts smaller than people think.
