I like this story a lot.

Many different ways to handle the socks concern...but it all starts with being intentional!

You of all people know the importance of taking action like this. It is amazing the amount of time and space I was spending on socks until I looked at it the way Jeff did. And I'm a process guy.

One word that comes after reading - Prioritize!!

Pinned & Bookmarked this article so that I get reminded whenever I forget about what are my priorities. Also that I don't waste time on unnecessary things.

Honestly get the points but in life I find if I have some basic order I do it effectively and move on to creativity. We all have our ways to honor and order the past as we move forward to the future.

I'm glad you shared this perspective. It is not about one way of doing things rather the best way for you. Does this serve you? If having many different kinds of socks as a creative expression serves you, THAT is living your Ikigai.

I went through the sock simplification a couple of years ago and did extensive research to find a sock that serves my daily and running needs. Then bought 48 pairs (since they were on sale). Sounds like I am in good company.
