This does not need much house and money, need is only to organize, can clean up.Will organize and clean up, it is a very simple thing to say, but do it is usually more trouble, especially after a day of work and then back to organize and clean up, sometimes with emotions. So how can you do a tidy up and never bounce back?

Japan’s Shaori through the daily storage and finishing, figured out a set of finishing tips to reduce the pressure of daily finishing. She has written these ingenious methods into “A Small Home for Two”.

Whether we are single or married, what we need is to do our chores lightly and live happily. Shaori believes that to live a simple life, we need to streamline our belongings. Hunan Literature and Arts Publishing House published “A Small Home for Two”, through Shaori to create a cozy apartment of 38 square meters, tells us that even a small home for two people can be bigger and more comfortable.

Japanese people are famous for their storage all over the world, they not only advocate minimalist life, but also advocate storage and organization. In fact, the storage and organization is not the items, but also our own spirit, dreams and the pursuit of an organization, in the ordinary days do not forget the original intention, in the ordinary life, do not forget to pursue the dream.

And Shaori’s organizing philosophy is that since life is for two people, storage should not only be convenient for ourselves, but also for each other.

Saori took a cramped rental house of only 38 square meters in a 30-year-old house and made it into a cozy little home with creative living. So how did she do it?

First, we had to streamline our belongings. We hoard a lot of daily necessities that may not be necessary for us. Shaori believes that adult life does not require too many items, and her goal is to have “no useless items in the house”. This requires streamlining things. If you buy things with the idea that you might need them someday, even a large house will soon be full.

So how do you streamline things and get rid of the excess? You can think back to the last time it was used, and if it was not used for a whole year, then it means that the probability of using it in the future is also very low, so you can get rid of it. Then consider the replaceability of the item. If there is a substitute, use the substitute, as much as possible to do a multi-purpose. For the use of very low frequency of items can be disposed of.

So when we choose furniture and sundries, we should consider whether it is flexible and convenient to use, and whether it can be used for multiple purposes.

When buying furniture must first measure the size, to see if the size of the location to be put is appropriate? Try not to hoard a lot of household goods in life, because buy a lot at once, sometimes forget the inventory at home, and sometimes the items will be let expire.

How does Shaori, who believes in minimalist living, treat the three meals a day? After all, food is the key to life. Saori also tries to cook her own food in her daily life, and the principle of cooking is easy and quick.

She buys her dishes in advance every weekend, and she prepares and divides them on the weekend, so that she can start cooking even if she comes home late from work. Whether it’s meat, fish or vegetables, she cuts and divides them in advance, prepares a week’s supply and stores them in the refrigerator. This way, you can use the weekend to organize the fridge and keep track of the contents at a glance, which makes life easier during the week and avoids waste.

Saori has his own way of organizing things. Because the room is small, so try not to buy large furniture. For daily necessities, except for those that can be stored away, then try to let the items float and not pile up on the floor. For the room arrangement, Shaori make good use of flowers and greenery to add color to the room.

We talked so much about storage and organization, to have a warm and clean home, the most important thing is still in the daily maintenance, then how to make housework does not become a daily burden?

Then it is to organize as you go, do not just throw it away, each item has its own fixed location. Using a one-step storage method, that is, each item can be seen, rather than placed in a particular drawer, which not only reduces the time spent looking, but also allows the other party to see. Secondly labeling is also a good way for both parties to clean up sharply.

Saori is such a hard-working girl. Kitchen supplies have their own fixed place, and it ensures that the area around the stove is empty, and the water after cooking is wiped down every day to ease the burden of housework.

A person who can do everything to the extreme is a master, and Sandori, who can also do housework to such an extreme, has accumulated a lot of popularity on media and social platforms. Sandori, like us, lives a 9 to 5 working class life, but the reason she can live such a tasty life is not only because she can organize and store, but more importantly, she can think about what she can do to make her life more beneficial in the future.

A Small Home for Two” shows us that ordinary life also requires wisdom, and that trivial household chores also contain a lot of secrets, the key is that we can think, do, organize, and arrange.
