Scenarios
2026-04-06 - Clothes Ready on the Windowsill
The night before, I set my clothes and pants on the windowsill and put a pair of socks on the couch so everything is ready to go in the morning. That saves me time because time in the morning is very precious. I do not have many shirts or pants, so matching colors is not hard for me. On workdays, I usually wear my work uniform, so I do not need to worry much about what to wear. After getting dressed, I walk out of the bedroom to the living room and check myself in the mirror to see if I look OK. Then, on the way out the door, I put my earphones and cell phone into my front pocket.

2026-04-06 - No Bag Through Security
I used to carry a bag for my coat, earphones, and a few other things. If it rained, I could put my umbrella in it too. But now I usually do not take a bag, because carrying one means an extra security check. That is especially slow when I go home from work, because there are so many people and I have to stand in line to get my bag checked. If I do not take a bag, I can go through another line, get through the gate faster, and save time. I usually do not run late because being late means my pay gets docked. But if I hit snooze and I am running late, I do not have time for breakfast, so I grab some steamed buns on the way to work.

be running late
