My recommendation is a small thing: a trashcan with a swinging lid!
Covers the trash, reduces smells, will prevent trash tetris (sometimes), and very good instead of foot-pedal opening trash cans or trash cans put in a cupboard.
Another thing are toothbrush holders that stick to mirrors. Might jog that memory of needing to brush your teeth!
Wall-mounted keyholder by your door, too. Anything I put on a flat surface will eventually be lost or covered with more junk & papers. My keys are WALL-ONLY!!!
What item(s) have helped you with your struggles?
I only own one type of sock. No more matching and worrying in the morning. Just grab two generic feet coverings and go.
Or, just pick two socks, without caring about matching them
This. I bought solid colour socks in many colours and always wear unmatched socks on purpose:)
It’s fine if it’s just colours. If there is a mismatch in length, or tightness, it messes with me more than I would like.
I did this too, but it backfired horribly. I got like four packs of identical socks. But I guess two came from a different batch, because they feel different. So now I have to spend twice as much time pairing socks by feel, rather than simply being able to grab and go like I originally intended.
Oh. No. That sounds horrible.
