What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier?

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.

Buy two of things. If you have trouble washing something, like bed sheets, buy a second set. You can change them first, then you have some more time to wash and dry and fold the other set. Otherwise, if you only have one, then you have to wash and dry and remake your bed in a shorter time window.

Who just has one set of bedsheets anyway?

I did, before I decided to buy 2. Only had 1 when growing up.

You put it in a dryer when you washed it, or what?

Strip bed. Wash sheets. Dry sheets. Remake bed. All as soon as possible.

This sounds like a drill or sth.

But I can attest, having more then 1 is helpful

How odd. I can't imagine owning only one set. Do you also have only one set of clothes?

Do you imagine OP washes their clothes naked?

That is my point, yes. That not having a spare sheet would be as foolish as not having a spare shirt.

More likely they just never bother to wash their sheets, I guess.

Jesus I had the opposite problem. I inherited every set of bedsheets my grandmother ever owned. A burdensome amount of cloth.

I keep getting burned finding boots that I like and by the time they wear out they're discontinued. For the first time I finally did the thing where I bought a pair, confirmed I like them, and immediately got a second pair. It was a hefty up front cost but now I'm genuinely looking forward to the same blue crushed velvet docs for the next 4-6 years

I discovered this strat on accident! Blew out my favorite jeans irreperably, and my replacement pair was actually two replacement pairs. My limiting factor on how long between laundry loads is how much lunch is on my jeans and now I have a backup pair so I do laundry half as much on average.

Or actually less than half as much because the odds I have two big spills in a short window is much less than having one big spill.
