Diagnose first, then act
Check pathway width, opening/closing convenience, and light comfort. Avoid changing multiple variables simultaneously.
3-step execution
- Step 1: Record daily friction around shoes, bags, and door operation.
- Step 2: Change one variable (storage position, light layer, or mirror direction).
- Step 3: Review after 7-14 days and keep only what works.
Common mistakes
Relying on symbolic fixes, ignoring the real flow, and changing too many variables before review.
