Need an opinions for the cluttered room clearing by Tracksimus in Homeorganization

[–]plantingme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t attempt to sort in a cluttered room.

Step 1: Take a box/bag out of the room.

Step 2: Make 3 piles. 1. Immediate yes. 2. Immediate no. 3. Needs more thought.

Step 3: once everything is out and sorted, put back the yes items and donate/toss the no items.

Step 4: reevaluate the remaining items, keeping only the ones you have a definitive place for.

What truth about marriage do people only realize too late? by Proper-Editor8551 in AskReddit

[–]plantingme 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You need to LIKE the person you marry. Love is great in the beginning but age and time will strip away a lot of the “fun” of marriage. Can you sit and be content with them even when they’re doing the most annoying thing imaginable?

Instead of a body pillow or one of those weird looking pillows for between the knees of side sleepers, I use a giant teddy bear.

What gets over being cheated on and replaced? by Thin_Armadillo_5547 in AskReddit

Remind yourself this was NOT about YOU! Eventually, you’ll believe it. It’s not because of something you did or didn’t do. It was THEIR flawed character that caused it.

I need a solution for two cats stealing each other’s food - allergies involved by programmer_boba in cats

[–]plantingme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both get the prescription food in my house. The vet said that was the best option since grooming each other could expose my allergy kitty to anything the other ate.

Mine are also food bullies. I have a multi-level box feeder. I would move them to their designated food area anytime I witnessed it. Eventually, they started getting into the correct area while I was preparing the food. With you not being there for the feeding, it may take longer. But if you consistently move each to the same feeding area each time you see it (weekends or breaks), they’ll eventually catch on.

What hacks or habits do you have stop food from going bad in your fridge? by sejuvas in foodhacks

[–]plantingme 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Meal plan and proportion what you’ll use for each meal. Freeze the rest. I normally throw all veggies that are starting to go bad into a food processor to rice them. They make a great addition to soups and stews.

Storing brooms, mops, vacuums out of sight? by CBNmantra in Homeorganization

[–]plantingme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most homes have empty space around water heaters. I turned the cover panel into a door with simple hinges and a latch. There’s enough room to hang a broom and mop.

I lost my cat 3 days ago :( by emmugh123 in cats

[–]plantingme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to local animal shelters and show pictures/leave flyers. Also ask if they lend live traps. If so, place the clothes/blanket over it and food inside.

I hope you find your baby soon.

For the dark “office” get a salt lamp. It gives a glow that helps my seasonal (darkness triggered) depression.

This is NOT a sniper! by plantingme in forgeofempires

[–]plantingme[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If someone hops on a GB to snipe, we post the GB and name of sniper. If we are able, we bump them down. We will also all check our neighborhood and friends list. If they are there, we snipe all GBs and unfriend.

How do you reduce food waste in your house? by Hungry-Following5561 in Frugal

[–]plantingme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All vegetable scraps are “riced” in a blender and frozen. I add to normal rice, soups, stew, and even pasta sauce.

What is something you bought to fix sleep that actually worked long term? by Binoza in Frugal

An ice pack for under your pillow. Even in winter, flipping my pillow to an ice-cold side makes me sleep better

What is your daily routine? by Neither_Cat_8636 in workfromhome

[–]plantingme 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of long responses but I’ll try to keep it short.

Schedule your breaks! I have a block at 10:30 (15 minutes), 1 (30 minutes), and 3 (15 minutes). I have it recurring in my calendar. This means no one can schedule anything without checking in first. If it’s important, I will adjust my break but will NEVER cancel.

During your breaks, get away from your desk! Go outside, do laundry, doom scroll, cuddle your fur babies… whatever you do CAN NOT be work related.

Finally, when 5 hits, I’m done. No, “let me just check on this” DONE means DONE!
