Home is a warm word. When we see the word ‘home’, we often associate it with warmth, cleanliness, and tidiness. So how to create a clean, tidy, and warm home? This doesn’t require a large house or money, it just requires being able to organize and tidy up.Being able to organize and tidy up can be a very simple task to say, but it is usually quite troublesome to do, especially when you come back from a day’s work and then organize and tidy up, sometimes with emotions. So how can we achieve a one-time consolidation and never rebound?

Japanese sand weaving has developed a set of clever organizing techniques through daily storage and organization to alleviate the pressure of daily organization. She wrote these clever methods into ‘Two People’s Small Homes’.

Whether single or married, what we need is to easily do household chores and live happily. Sha Zhi believes that in order to live a simple life, we need to streamline our belongings. The Small Home for Two published by Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House uses sand weaving to build a cozy apartment with an area of 38 square meters. It tells us that even a small home for two people can become larger and more comfortable.

Japanese storage is well-known around the world, as they not only advocate for minimalist living, but also for storage and organization. In fact, what we store and organize is not just items, but also a way to organize our own spirit, dreams, and pursuits. In ordinary days, we should not forget our original intention, and in ordinary life, we should not forget to pursue our dreams.

The organizing concept of sandweaving is that since life is for two people, storage should not only make oneself feel convenient, but also make the other person feel convenient.

Sha Wo has transformed a narrow rental house with a 30 year old age of only 38 square meters into a warm and creative small home. So how did she do it?

First, streamline the items. The large amount of daily necessities we hoard may not be necessary for us. Sha Zhi believes that adult life does not require too many items, and her pursuit of a state is “there is no useless thing in the home”. This requires streamlining items. If you purchase items with the idea that you may need one day, then the size of the house will soon be filled.

So how to streamline items and dispose of excess items? You can recall when you last used it. If you haven’t used it for a whole year, the probability of using it in the future is also very low, so you can dispose of it. Then consider the substitutability of the item. If there are substitutes, use them as much as possible to achieve multiple uses of one thing. For items with low usage frequency, they can be handled.

So when choosing furniture and household items, we need to consider whether they are flexible and convenient to use, and whether they can be used for multiple purposes.

When purchasing furniture, it is important to first measure the size and see if the size of the location is suitable? Try not to hoard a large amount of daily necessities in daily life, as buying too many at once can sometimes lead to forgetting the inventory at home, and sometimes even putting items out of date.

How does Sha Zhi, who advocates minimalist living, approach three meals a day? After all, food is the top priority for the people. Sand weaving also tries to cook and cook by oneself in daily life, and the principle of cooking is simple and fast.

She purchases dishes in advance every weekend, and the storage and segmentation of the dishes are completed on weekends, so that even if she returns home late from work, she can still have dinner. Whether it’s meat, fish, or vegetables in daily life, they should be cut and packaged in advance, prepared for a week, and then stored in the refrigerator. This not only allows you to use the weekend time to organize the refrigerator, but also allows you to have a clear understanding of the items in the refrigerator at a glance, which not only facilitates work day life but also avoids waste.

Sandweaving has its own method for organizing items. Because the room is small, try not to buy large furniture. For daily necessities, except for those that can be stored, try to keep them floating and not piled up on the ground. For the layout of the room, sand weaving is good at using flowers and green plants to add color to the room.

Previously, we talked about so much storage and organization. To have a warm and clean home, the most important thing is still daily maintenance. So how can we make household chores not become a daily burden?

So it’s just to organize things casually, don’t throw them away, every item has its own fixed position. Adopting a one-step storage method, where every item can be seen instead of being placed in a drawer, not only reduces the search time but also allows the other party to see it. Secondly, labeling is also a good way for both parties to tidy up neatly.

Sha Zhi is really a diligent girl. Kitchen supplies have their own fixed positions and ensure that there is nothing around the stove. After finishing the meal, the water is wiped every day, reducing the burden of household chores.

Being able to do everything to the extreme is a master, and being able to do household chores to the extreme has accumulated a lot of popularity on social media platforms. Sandweaver, like us, lives a 9-to-5 working-class life, and can still live such a delicious life. Not only is it good at organizing and storing, but more importantly, it is also good at thinking. What can be done to be more beneficial for future life?

The Little Family of Two “shows us that ordinary life also requires wisdom, and trivial household chores also imply many tricks. The key is that we can think, do things, organize, and arrange.
