- all matching socks. No more time spent pairing. - clothes drying racks that hook onto radiators. Reduces drying time and clothes crumpling - wired mechanical keyboard. Wired is simpler than wireless. Quality ones have n-key support - bicycle fenders - digital wrist watch so that I check my phone less.
- Affinity Photo instead of Photoshop (I've been a PS user since 5.5, but they creep me out) - Capture One for ca 200 usd (same reason as above, but replace PS with Lightroom Classic) - The Belkin iPhone grip for continuity camera (iPhone is so much better than the potato webcam on my MBA)
An air fryer. It’s really a badly marketed product. Its real utility isn’t that it uses less oil, but that it cooks incredibly fast. Essentially an oven on steroids. It’s made cooking so much easier. I usually toss some boneless chicken in with a light coating of soy sauce and cornflour. While the chicken cooks, I prep a basic Asian sauce on the stovetop. The chicken and the sauce are both done within 10-15 minutes.…

For me: - Philips OneBlade (use it weekly and have not needed to charge in 6 months) $35 - Large desk pad $20 - Shooting hearing protection with white noise (drowns out pretty much all other noise while coding) $100

I finally purchased a rice cooker. I enjoy rice a lot and it's heathier than pasta, plus it's kind of set it and forget it and you can prepare other food while it cooks. But the best part is that rice comes out perfect.

I bought 3 packs of black wool socks about 10 years ago. I wear them almost exclusively throughout the year (cold feet) except for sports etc. Just recently I've replaced them all with 3 new packs of black wool socks. My life have never been simpler. See you in 2033 for the update!
I have a few specialty items for exercise or dirty yard work, but those are easy to separate from the daily drivers.
