After a failed apartment search, I set to make my current apartment as comfortable as possible. These are my game changers:
- French press and v60. Coffee became a ritual I look forward to, not something I drink to achieve a goal.
- Speakers and amp. I got mine used. They are over 50 years old. The amp is a gorgeous object. Listening to music became a full activity. I do it with my coffee. I cannot overstate how much better it feels.
- Wiim Mini. Airplay for 70 year old speakers
- Plants. They make the whole space look better and give you a sense of the passage of time.
- Good pillows, soft sheets. The best of ikea’s sheets is already a massive upgrade. So soft!
- Motion activated leds. It’s nice to reach into the pantry and get light, or use the toilet at night without being blinded. They are magnetic and charge with USB C.
- Robot vacuum. I have a used Roborock S5 that keeps the whole flat spotless at the press of a button.
