Very true! My partner gets it in theory. He’s the one who taught me about the first order of retrievability - that all your tools should be in reach and that if something is behind something else, it’s like you don’t even have it.
Yesss. It is weird to have such deep shelves and have nothing in the back of them but you’re right that anything put there would be lost forever. I would love a new cultural norm of shallow shelves.
I do appreciate those who use words as windows. The simple shift from 'the project is not the purpose' is like pulling back a huge heavy slider and letting in all that possibility. Another I have loved is 'to design is to redesign' and that fits with the 'slow' for thinking and planning. This really is a living library! Thank you.
That is a beautiful pantry! Please pop by and help with mine. And the circus that is the rest of our apartment…

Absolutely. We will do a lot of coaching around the “whys” of shelf access and how almost all my tidiness is made possible by me living alone 😌

Great words yourself! It’s a reframing that feels a bit electric to me, very cool.
