After living a minimalist life, I found that many housework were "self-inflicted", and I advise everyone to correct them quickly!
"Housework" is a particularly headache, and it is really exhausting to face a dirty house and spend so much time doing housework when you come home from work every day.
In the past, I was always struggling with housework, but after starting a minimalist life, I found that a lot of housework was self-inflicted, and learning to subtract from life can really reduce a lot of housework, which can make us a lot easier, and I advise everyone to try it too.
01No more trash cans
After I started living a minimalist life, I gave up using trash cans.
In the past, there were trash cans in the kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen at home, and it was particularly troublesome to change the garbage bags every time.
Now there are basically no trash cans in my house, and the usual garbage is directly packed in plastic bags or garbage bags, and it is easy to throw away.
The bathroom is replaced with wet toilet paper, which is thrown directly into the toilet after each use, and can be flushed away with the water, which also saves a lot of trouble.
02 Don't carpet
At first, I felt very comfortable laying carpets at home, but gradually I found that the carpets have become one of the most difficult places in the house to clean.
Usually when you eat, you will accidentally stain the carpet, and when you drink water, you may get the carpet wet.
Especially after having children at home, the carpet is always dirty, and I am worried that the child crawling on the carpet will affect the child's health.
After throwing away the carpet in the living room, you don't have to worry about cleaning the carpet anymore, the floor of the whole living room becomes clean and simple, and it becomes easier to clean.
03 Don't fold clothes
In the past, after washing clothes, I used to hang the clothes on the balcony with a drying rack, and after the clothes were dried, I had to take them off the drying rack and stack them neatly and put them in the closet.
Now I realize that I can actually reduce a lot of housework for myself by not folding clothes.
The washed clothes are hung directly on the balcony with a drying rack, and the dried clothes do not need to be removed from the drying rack, but directly hung in the wardrobe, so that there is no need to stack the clothes, and there will be no wrinkles on the clothes.
04No more spice pots
In the past, I used to use spice pots in my kitchen, and every time I bought the spices I bought were divided into spice pots, but later I found out that this was also an unnecessary housework.
Every time the seasoning bought in this way is also particularly troublesome in the condiment pot, and the condiment pot also needs to be cleaned regularly, which will produce a thick layer of oily seasoning after a long time, and it may also be damp.
After I started my minimalist life, I stopped using the spice pot, and the seasoning I bought was directly placed on the spice rack in the kitchen in the original packaging, which was also very convenient to use.
05 No more over-decoration
When I was younger, I always thought that the more things in my home, the better, and I liked to spend a lot of time and energy decorating my small home.
But slowly, I found that many decorations in the home are actually cumbersome, which does not make the home more beautiful, but increases the burden of housework.
After I started to live a minimalist life, I stopped over-decorating, and the simple home was more comfortable, and I also reduced a lot of housework.
06No more hand laundry
In the past, I always thought that the clothes washed by hand would be cleaner, and every time I came home from work, I had to wash the clothes I wore by hand to dry, which took a lot of time and energy.
Now, except for the underwear and underwear, I choose to wash by hand, and I put the rest of the clothes in the dirty laundry basket and put them in the washing machine on my day off, which not only reduces the trouble of cleaning clothes every day, but also cleans them more thoroughly.
Write at the end of the article:
After starting a minimalist life, I found that there are actually a lot of housework that I find myself, and there is really no need to add so much housework burden to myself. Learning to subtract from life will not only make it easier for you, but also make your life more and more comfortable.
