Most of these responses have been very helpful.

Not everyone has the same workflow or the same issues. For example I use tons of sports water bottles because I’m a cyclist. They don’t dry in the dishwasher and I can’t dry them by hand because I can’t get a towel in there. So they have to spend some time air drying somewhere. Lots of new parents have same problem with baby items. There’s really no need to call people names like ‘messy’ or ‘procrastinator’, because they need some things air drying for more than a few minutes.

People have different needs. I had to beg my designer to design a main bath vanity that has a single sink. He told me I needed two sinks for resale. I finally prevailed by admitting to him that I didn’t want to be reminded every day that I’d failed to find myself a life partner.

My point is that a good design solution starts with empathy.
