What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier? (lemm.ee)

For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they're much easier to grab.

Hired a bi-weekly house cleaner. My mental health is so much better now that my house is always clean.

Ooh that sounds nice. I’ve considered doing something similar, but I’m worried about being able to find stuff if I’m not the one who puts it away. Have you had any trouble with that?

Most cleaners only clean, dont really change stuff. The secret is to kind of tidy up your house before they arrive. And yes, definitely get one. It’s a life changer, and good for your personal relationships.

Yes, I am not comfortable with someone coming in my private residence. So I am left to do everything myself...

My cleaner just moves stuff to the side, cleans that area and slides them back. So at most it's like a few inches from where it was before or in the same general area. We have a really sweet lady come once a month and it's so nice to not worry about doing deep cleans. I do basic cleaning in between if stuff gets really dirty.

Just to clarify, do you mean twice a week, or every two weeks?

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Every 2 weeks
