Name the exact missing job, such as a rain layer for commuting or shoes for long office days. If a new piece does not fill a written gap, skip it.

## Test it against a real day

## Bottom line

Name the exact missing job, such as a rain layer for commuting or shoes for long office days. If a new piece does not fill a written gap, skip it.
