Is Your Home a Maze?

Is Your Home a Maze?

Do you need to learn to love space?

Do you save things you can use right now or everything you could possibly use someday in the distant future?

Start your space journey with your most visible room.

Set up a donation day to a favorite charity, every week if you have a lot of stuff. 

Feel free to increase your number of donation days.

Easiest things out are trash & things that you hate.

Give things you need a home if you can remember that you have it and its location. 

Make sure the stuff fits in that space that you call its home.

Remember you can help others if you gift, donate, or sell things that you no longer need.

 Once you have gotten your home organized as it needs to be then Replace items, don’t add to the hoard.

Remember to help your friends when they ask, no matter if its physical, mental, or both.

Bathroom trashcan

Hanging bathroom trashcan

I never thought about hanging a trashcan until I saw this video.

Check it out!

Think it makes a lot of sense if you have mobility issues.

Needed items are

2 command hooks

Yarn

Trashcan top is round in video.  I suggest a square or rectangle top trashcan

Corner trash block insert

One arm observations

Some of you may know I've had shoulder surgery on my right shoulder about 6 weeks ago.Hurt it mid December.

 My typing is limited to hunt and peck with my left hand.

I have found some interesting challenges since my arm has been out of commission.

I'd like to know If you have some helpful hints of items to use or other adaptations you might need when you can only use one arm.

The following are in no particular order

Slip on bedroom slippers and flip flops

Short socks and Velcro tabbed shoes

Button front larger printed shirt

Pull on pants

Muscle T shirts

Don't wear shirt color of your brace

Square food containers versus round ones

Easy open pill bottles

Toilet paper on a stand instead of on the side wall or counter

Deeper bowl instead of a flat plate to eat from

Computer table rigged to hold a Kindle book

Use both ice and heat for pain

Need smaller shorter drawers instead of long drawers with 2 handles in dresser

I need 2 arms to hang up clothing

It's easier to get things down/out  then put them back up

I can't open pull tabs or cellophane packages or any cans

Don’t pickup hot food serving dishes with one hand

I need a cutting board with food anchors

Avoid groups and hugs

Be good friends with your (3 times a day) therapist

I can make coffee and hot chocolate

Eating sandwiches everyday will add weight

Take a hot shower and drink a cup of hot chocolate to get a lift

Recovery is taking longer than I had hoped

Looking forward to your input.
