Common to people who are not good at tidying up "something" that is always in the refrigerator in a dirty room "some food" that is always in the refrigerator of people who are always cluttered with homes

"When I put the rest of the food in the storage container and try to close the lid, that? The size is different. Where did the lid of this go?"

I used to be frustrated when I was doing puzzles to fit the container and lid.

I want to finish the lid-matching puzzle! Therefore, we unified the types of storage containers. There are about 3 sizes. Since they are made by the same manufacturer, any lid of the same size can be used.

Occasionally, the container is a little larger than the amount you want to put in, but with the spirit of "large is also small", I catch my eyes on a few things. Sometimes it doesn't fit in the opposite direction and two containers are used, but that's OK.

If you put it in the organizing box, the trouble of searching for the lid has been eliminated.

■ "It's obvious if you look at the refrigerator" People with clean houses are good at storing

It's easy to buy a number of things that seem "convenient" when there are different types. However, it can also increase the effort.

For example, food stock. It is better to keep it in stock when you cannot go shopping, but the psychology of "convenience" and "safety" works, but in reality, this creates a small stress in your life.

In order to prevent overbuying, it is easy to remember how much stock you have ... but if the drawers and shelves are filled with various ingredients, it is difficult to understand the total amount.

At first glance, I couldn't figure out what was there and how much, and I felt like I couldn't get it, and I would buy it again.

"When I thought about putting it in the drawer, there was the same thing! If there was one, there were still two! And the expiration date has expired ..."

I'm sick of this alone.

At this time, there is a troublesome task of shopping for the year-end and New Year holidays. How about using it as an opportunity to organize your food stock to secure storage space?

First--

I'm sure you'll be shocked to see a lot of food that has expired, but this is a good chance to reset it. Unfortunately, there is no choice but to dispose of it.

■ If you look at the stock, you can see the habit of shopping

I don't use the canned beans I bought because they seem to be nutritious because I don't like my family. You don't have to use the ethnic spices you bought to try it once ... From this, you can see the food preferences of your family and your taste trends.

If you find a duplicate stock, think again about whether you can actually use it up or if you need it so much.

Then, you can see the habit of your shopping. If you can understand the tendency of foods that have been in stock for a long time, you will not waste money from now on, and as a result, you will save money.

It will be easier to understand the storage of food stock if you use a file box etc. to divide it into groups such as "dried fish", "noodles" and "canned food".

Try to stand the things in the box as much as possible. If you stack them, it will be difficult to see the things at the bottom, and you will forget them after all. The purpose is to get a quick bird's-eye view and to be able to understand at a glance "what is there!". If you can see it at a glance, you will be able to memorize it unconsciously.

■ Eliminate the belief that "one vacuum cleaner per family"

If you look around the room, you will notice dust and spilled sweets on the floor. I know I have to clean it, but I'm tired and I don't want to do it, and I find it annoying.

Vacuuming and wiping, I don't think it's that hard in itself. As long as you have the tools in front of you, it's not too painful.

I think it would be troublesome to take the trouble to bring the tools and put them away again. Yes, "if you have the tools in front of you," the feeling that cleaning is a hassle is dramatically reduced.

Since my house has two floors, I decided to prepare cleaning tools separately for the first floor and the second floor.

On the first floor, we put a Dyson vacuum cleaner and other cleaning tools in the storage space under the stairs. If you lean the mop against it, it will fall down and be difficult to handle, and cleaning the floor in that part will be troublesome, so hang it by handing a stick. And I bought a Makita product as a vacuum cleaner for the second floor.

As with food stock, the point of storing cleaning tools is to make it easy to see what is where.

I was worried that the second vacuum cleaner would be a luxury expense, but the result was a great answer. The cleaning hurdle has dropped dramatically!

I was overwhelmed just because I had to carry a vacuum cleaner from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor, but I'm surprised that just putting it on each floor makes me feel like cleaning so much.

■ If you decide where to put it, you can leave the tools out

When you think "Let's do it!", You lose your motivation just by thinking about the action to get the tools for that and the time it takes.

If you have a roller or a quickle handy in a place where you can get it quickly, you will be wondering if you should do it a little.

That's why I leave it in the middle of the living / dining room, which is easy to pick up and put back.

The washroom is a place where you want to clean your hair frequently, but if there is something on the floor, you have to do it once and for all, which is also troublesome.

Therefore, I decided to hang anything that can be hung. This technique of "hanging" is the point that makes cleaning easier.

Of course, I also hang a roller for cleaning. Then I stuck the sponge holder and sponge on the glass surface so that the vinyl gloves could also be hooked on the bathroom door.

When you hear "leave it out," you might think of a messy room, but that's okay.

The trick is to eliminate the presence of things as much as possible.

For that reason, I try to choose products with similar colors and materials. That way, when you look around, you won't feel confused, and you'll be familiar with the space, and you won't be bothered at all.
