A few posts ago, I asked what little things you did went a long way and you left so many amazing comments and tips that I honestly would have never thought about it. (That's right, I'm stealing your tips to make my life easier. Wink.) But I thought I'd share a few of mine just to even the score.
I actually didn't realize it until these posts that I naturally do little things to help my mornings or days go by easier. I'm patting my subconscious self on the back right now.
01: This is a small thing that I do, literally -- it's a k-cup, but for some reason if I go ahead and load my Keurig at night with coffee or at least leave a coffee pod out, it makes my mornings go much smoother. Maybe it's the thoughtfulness of the night before or maybe it's the caffeine? Either way I'll take it.
02: This little guy is a Fitbit I picked up at Target a few weeks ago. He goes everywhere with me and tells me how active I've been that day. It sounds silly but just seeing those numbers motivates me to take a longer walk with the dogs, or take the stairs instead of an elevator or get my butt to the gym.
03: I'm obsessed with this game called Threes, which is weird because I'm not a game kind of gal. But every night for the past few weeks it's how I unwind before bed. It's a mindless game but it helps me forget the stress of the day. Such a small thing but so helpful in reducing stress.
04: Laundry can be my nemesis if I let it be. Before I know it, everything is piled up in our guest room and our laundry is literally screaming to be washed. But I've figured out that if I stay ahead of the game and wash just one load every night, it's much easier to manage. And Sunday no longer has to be the dreaded laundry day. I'm also a firm believer in
Tide Pods (found at
Target). They are no-brainers when it comes to laundry; you just toss them into the washing machine without measuring and viola! your laundry is done. MAGIC, people. It's magic. Now if only we could find something that makes the rest of the chores that easy.
05: Again this is a small, small thing but it's so helpful to me: putting things back where they belong. This could be filed under the 'what I learned in kindergarten' file but remembering this (and not being lazy enough to follow through) keeps things in balance at my house. If I always put my keys in the same place, guess what? They will be there when I need them. If I put my rings in the same place ever night? You guessed it, they will be there in the morning. Simple but so helpful.
So that's my two cents on a few small things that simplify life. Remember you can still share your little things that go a long way with me over
