I like the idea of training your eye to notice details, which leads to becoming a better photographer. But what is the purpose of having such photos, after the fact? Are you going to hunt through your “shoebox” in a few years looking for a faucet handle so you can show it to friends and family? Or are you going to wish you had more hard drive space for pictures of what the whole backyard looked like when your kids were little – the swing set, sandbox, tree house? Artsy photos are a dime a dozen, but photos of your world as you lived in it are one of a kind, and likely to be the only ones of interest to you after the years change things, as they will definitely do.

I do this often just to test things I was thinking about. Since my hobby is plants and photos it works out great. Small things are worth remembering.
