Take Advantage of the "IKEA Effect" to Be More Satisfied With Your Stuff

Most furniture that you get from IKEA needs to be assembled with your own two hands.

Which can mean you feel a sense of accomplishment in addition to getting a new piece of furniture.

Try focusing on buying or making stuff yourself to build more satisfaction with your life.

But once you assemble it, it’s your pile of parts!

It represents your time, your attention, and your skill in creation.

This concept extends to more than just furniture.
