I meant to reply yesterday, but I got pulled into rearranging the whole back room and underestimated how long that would take.
I finally finished sorting the shelves, and it already feels easier to find everything without debating where I left things last week.
I kept the labels simple because the big mistake before was getting too detailed and never sticking with the system.
I also moved the lamp closer to the desk, which somehow made the whole corner feel calmer and less crowded.
I think the trick is keeping the setup boring enough that it stays useful every day.
If you still want help with your list, send it over and I can trim it down to the essentials.
I am better at editing than inventing from scratch, so that part would actually be fun for me.
Also, remind me which notebook you liked because I saw one with a similar layout and immediately thought of your weirdly specific preferences.

It turned out much better, mostly because I wasn't opening the oven every two minutes like an impatient goblin.
I changed the herbs near the end and that helped more than I expected, so I think the original version was just a little too heavy.
Next time I want to test a smaller batch first so I do not end up with leftovers taking over the kitchen for days.
Also, your idea about keeping a plain note on the counter for quick adjustments was smart, because I always think I will remember and then absolutely do not.
If you're around this weekend, I can bring the revised version for a second opinion.
I trust you to tell me the truth instead of politely nodding while quietly reaching for toast later.
Anyway, send me the reading list when you get a chance, since I finally cleared enough time to start something new.
