I used to think I was being smart by not “wasting money” on duplicates. But then I realized I was spending way more energy and honestly, ruining my own mood over stuff like forgetting my only phone charger at home, or misplacing my one pair of decent headphones.
Now I keep a charger by my bed, one in my backpack, and one at work. I have two umbrellas, one in my car, one by the door. I keep two sets of earbuds, an extra stick of deodorant in my bag, even a second nail clipper in my drawer at work. It’s not about being fancy. It’s about removing those tiny, unnecessary stresses that throw off your whole day. The cost of buying a few spares is nothing compared to the peace of mind it brings. You’re not forgetful you just haven’t set yourself up to win yet. If something always stresses you out when it’s missing, don’t beat yourself up. Just buy an extra. I promise it’s one of the easiest life upgrades you’ll ever make.
