       | The same pegboard with the tools oriented and placed randomly
       | just wouldn't be as satisfying.

       | Not sure if this only applies to those high on the OCD spectrum
       | or not. Now I keep looking for places to add pegboards. I could
       | 3D print a great pegboard toothbrush holder ...

       | So there's a word for this! Maybe I'm a bit OCD. I tend to knoll
       | everything on my desk but I deliberately put something at a
       | diagonal if I want to remind myself to take it with me when I
       | leave. It might be my pen or my reading glasses or the box with
       | my ear buds. When I glance at the desk after standing up from it,
       | anything that's not knolled stands out.
