Fantastic advice!! And something I’ve realized I’ve been doing for myself these last 6-7 years, even though I never had a name for it.
Seriously, this is such a great way to go about organizing your home.
I really can’t express how much easier your life can be when you accept that there’s no objectively right way to do this kind of stuff, especially when you let go of the idea that it’s a moral failure when you can’t do something the “correct way” nor is it evidence of you being lazy.
Working with (leaning into) your natural limits and instincts can do wonders for you in your day-to-day life.
It's your house. Make it work for you, don't work to an imaginary standard that doesn't serve you.
get creative.
There's double bowls for pistachios and other nuts that leave shells. Useful for that. But also, if you regularly use eyedrops or some other small thing that generates trash... Easy place to put the wrappers/spent containers so you don't have to trek to the trash can every time. $10.
