1. Wood Care

I've noticed that when I handwash wooden items like spoons and chopping boards instead of using the dishwasher, they tend to last longer and maintain their shape better. Wood’s natural porosity can lead to water absorption, causing expansion when wet and contraction when drying, which may result in a loss of shape and increased fragility. Using the dishwasher has even led to quicker breakage in my experience, so I prefer to handwash wooden items to preserve their quality.

 2. Surplus Handling

I keep a separate box for extra stocks, such as items purchased in bulk or obtained as part of a package deal. For example, my everyday spices are kept near the hob for easy access during cooking, while additional spices are stored in a separate cupboard. This method keeps my home organized, prevents clutter, and helps me track excess stock to avoid unnecessary purchases. I apply this approach throughout my entire home, ensuring convenience and tidiness in every room.

 3. Indoor Footwear

I make it a habit to remove my shoes upon entering my house and keep a separate pair for indoor use. This practice helps maintain a cleaner and more hygienic living environment by preventing outdoor contaminants from spreading indoors. I've noticed that outdoor shoes worn indoors can pick up dust or leave wet marks, resulting in the hassle of cleaning. Having dedicated indoor shoes not only keeps my floors cleaner but also simplifies my daily routine.

 4. Car Clutter

I dedicate time to emptying my car of accumulated items, including take-away tea mugs, snacks, tissues, and parking receipts, as I get out of the car, it helps maintain a clean and clutter-free interior. This practice also enables better organization and easy access to essentials within my car, eliminating the need to sift through a pile of items. For instance, once I left some supermarket items in the car, and there was a bad smell lingering for many days. Later, I discovered that I had left a box of frozen seafood under the car seat, causing the unpleasant Odor.

5. Dual functionality

I personally make use of multifunctional items, considering them smart solutions for maximizing both space and resources. These versatile objects simplify my life. For example, I own an ottoman sleeping bed, which not only provides a comfortable resting place but also doubles as storage for my casual wear, towels, knickknacks, and more. These dual-purpose items efficiently optimize both space and resources, streamlining my daily life and resulting in a more organized living space.

I'm not an organization expert, but these tips have made my life much easier. I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you have too.

Your engagement till the end is truly appreciated. Until next time, stay well and keep learning.
