I mean idk if it's the same for everyone, but I find playing in minor keys actually helps more with stress than happy chords. Maybe it's just me but there's something about the melancholy that really pulls the tension out.

My kitchen redo included smart lighting, and I've found it incredibly reliable with proper setup. Being able to voice control lights when my hands are full with groceries is a lifesaver. I set scenes for morning coffee and dinner parties that change the whole ambiance. Sure, traditional switches are simple, but smart systems offer flexibility that's hard to give up. After a year of daily use, I haven't missed the old way at all. The convenience outweighs any initial hesitation about reliability!
