I find that trivial inconveniences become less powerful the more I go through the routine of overcoming them. For example, I delete apps and re-install them and am now used to the process so while it still helps it’s become less of an inconvenience now that I’m acclimatized to the process. It seems good to try to reduce/get acclimated to trivial inconveniences that stop us from doing useful things and try to increase them for non-optimal things (and also beware starting a routine of getting used to them).
The mailbox thing is a really interesting idea (provided it doesn’t get messed up by the postal worker trying to fit a package in there and dropping it)!

Ah, that’s a really good point. Seems like something that would be true for others as well.
Wow, it’s a thing! Thanks.
