Anyone who has stayed in a hotel room has likely fooled around trying to get the drapes to fully close, lest that sliver of light shine through in the morning and disturb your rest. There are countless memes and home remedies (such as using the clips on the pants hangar to secure the gap), but it always seems that there is a problem spot.
Finally, the Courtyard chain has resolved the problem by making the drapes traverse the entire length of the wall, with the window occupying its normal dimensions. This results in the drapes closing in front of a wall (not a window) and fully eliminates the light gap. Bravo!
Sometimes, we spend our energy trying to invent new things or come up with the next big idea, but it is often the small annoyances that irritate us the most — and are easiest to fix. Maybe instead of trying to create that next dazzling plan, you’d be better off working to keep the light out.
