Build your own shit. Save money.

If you’ve got a problem and can solve it without spending money, by all means do so. People are too damn lazy and buy more stuff to solve the problems of existing stuff. There’s just too much money spent on crap these days. So here’s an example of how I solved one of my little problems. I have this desk drawer that I put little things in. Well the problem is that after a while these things get shifted around too much and end up in the back or get mixed up with other items. But I took some junk cardboard, cut that shit into rectangles, and then glued it all together to form a partition slot for my drawer. Now all the smaller things stay in the front and I can also lift the slot out onto the desktop if I need to.
