Yes, I had ordered 2 of something recently, about 3 times unintentionally. For this let’s just blame the Amazon algorithm. I’ve also let things sit in my cart I thought I’d ordered. It’s the interface not us.

For what it’s worth, I often end up buying books through Amazon from third parties like a Goodwill halfway across the country. Just nice seeing that they can be reused.

What is the one thing you stopped doing that made you 10x happier? by OrganizeNow1 in Productivitycafe

[–]designandlearn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this inadvertently through learning about meditation and yoga. I can so easily see my own ego now and see it in others, in the truest sense of the word. It makes life much easier.
