As someone who believes that face masks help stop the spread of germs like COVID-19, I am someone who has encountered mask hassle. From dropping it to losing it, I have experienced my fair share of mask hassle. I also found that complaining about my mask hassle did absolutely nothing to reduce it. I found relief from the hassle when I turned my focus to fixing the problem which was how I stored my mask when I was not using it.
My solution of wearing my mask on a lanyard, is quite simple. My solution is an example of not settling for hassle - just putting up with something because that is the way it is. Once I believed there was a better way, I was motivated to look for it. I found that way by not being fixed on what lanyards are used for, and focusing on what lanyards could be used for.
Settle for less hassle by objectively looking at what causes the hassle then brainstorming what could reduce that problem. Will all the hassle be relieved? Maybe not, but I believe that improvements lead to future improvements, so start with settling for less hassle.
