My Kids love Soft boiled to dip toast in. They are notoriously variable to get just right. Every Sunday morning I have a checklist. Same Pan. Same setting on stove. Same amount of water. Set Time. Play Bob Marley 3 little birds. Same amount of water to cool eggs after 5 mins. Result... wait for it... a Perfect Yoke to Poke every time...... True Story.

Some of my poka-yoke:

1. Any new electronic device for my family or work must be chargeable via USB-C PD

2. Socks: a single type/color for athletic shoes, single type/color for dress shoes

3. Payment - carry two different credit cards + backup cash in wallet
