Group Things into reusable Sets so recurring activities, outfits, travel kits, and gear setups are easier to assemble, review, and reuse.
Why Use Sets?
A Set is a collection of Things that you frequently use together. Sets act as reusable groupings for specific purposes, and a single Thing can be used across multiple Sets. Whether it is a travel kit, a photography setup, a camping pack, or an everyday essentials collection, Sets help you assemble and track the gear you need much faster.

- Play Around with Different Combinations: Experiment before making final decisions.
