Take a Hint

When we sit down on the couch, my partner and I both move a pillow.
Without thinking, at least one ends up on the floor every day. Then, when we get up, we have to remember to put it back.

What if instead of treating this like another micro task on our mental to do list,
I see it as a little hint:

Like the couch is quietly whispering: “You really don’t need four pillows.”
(Even if they are really cute.)

Maybe this doesn’t need a big evaluation or thought process.
Maybe the pillows that keep ending up on the floor are the ones we never choose. And maybe, instead of putting them back on the couch again, I could pick them up, put them in the donate bin, and never have to pick them up off the floor again.

What other simple clues are scattered around our homes, just waiting for us to notice?
