While Creating my bug list I had to think about many situations I commonly find myself. By thinking of these scenarios while simultaneously thinking about many of the articles I use in my day-to-day routine I was able to make a good list that satisfied me. The main issue I had, however, was that throughout creating the list I was thinking about a lot of different situations that "grind my gears" and was beginning to find myself annoyed. I needed to take a break from making the list in order to come back with a clearer mind.
