Sharpen your internal sense of scale.
Personal Body Unit Index is a cheatsheet to use your body as a tool to measure things.
We obsessively measure things. How high is that coat hook? How wide is that table? Is that really 3” diameter tube stock? Instead of carrying around a tape measure, we use our bodies to measure stuff!

Brilliant! Used the ideas here to stuff my mini Cooper with building stuff the other day. Could make it fit by using my arm as the measuring device. Thanks for the reminder of what our bodies can be as tools!

Another amazing idea
I do a lot of projects and sell a lot of things online so I'm always measuring, measuring, measuring. I immediately loved this concept- to familiarize yourself with the measurements of your own body. For many of the things I measure a close estimate will work and I look forward to saving time not having to hunt down my tape measure. I *could* just measure myself and write it on a piece of paper but this is such a cool poster. The minimal design is really sleek and I'm sure it's going to make a great conversation piece.
