How I’d Solve 4 Shoe-Organization Problems (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since I both write about organization and test shoes for work, you might assume my footwear collection is organized. It’s the reverse — in the war of shoes vs. organizational skill, the shoes have won. Any scheme I invent is immediately undone by my own habits. I wouldn’t have it any other way, though: I sleep better when the my shoes break containment from the front hallway and end up arranged under my bed. After fixing bathroom-organization puzzles and cable-management snarls, I put out a call
The Very Best Nightlights (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nightlights are indispensable for parents and makers of late-night trips in dark apartments alike. A good nightlight should, in the words of former Strategist senior editor Anthony Rotunno, glow “just enough to guide me — but not so brightly that it jolts me out of semi-sleep.” An inexpensive, plug-in nightlight is often all you need, but a bunch of higher-tech options have hit the market in recent years, with features optimized for a variety of uses: baby monitor, white-noise machine, and porta
On My Mind: Anti-AI Ceramics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In my last Strategist Brain, I wrote about a mysterious ailment that had me feeling like a puppet with the strings cut.

I feel like my body is a haunted mansion and I’ve just started opening doors. I’ve spent decades ignoring it because I knew, on some level, that I was living in a wa
My Hunt for House Shoes That Give Me Lift (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most spaces I enter are designed for a human of median height, and at five-foot-one, that often works out in my favor. I’ve never met an airplane seat I couldn’t sleep in, a couch too small to be a bed. Things get tricky where vertical storage comes into play — in a grocery store, library, or, crucially, the kitchen in my rental apartment, where the upper cabinets would be comfortable for an NBA player. I can reach the bottom shelf without straining; the second shelf is a gamble. I have a stepla
The Very Best Flush-Mounted Ceiling Lights (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s rare to hear someone talk with great enthusiasm about their flush-mounted light. They’re so notorious for harsh light that half the Strategist staff refuses to turn them on at all. (I only use the Big Light when I am cleaning, and the desire to turn it off makes me clean faster.) But flush-mounted lights don’t deserve their bad rep — like any other light, there are good and bad varieties, and a lot of common complaints can be mitigated by picking the right fixture for your space and install
