For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they’re much easier to grab.

    I leave a roll of trash bags in the bottom of the trash bin, so it’s where I need it when I need it - instead of taking up place elsewhere or getting lost. I do this for all trash bins. In the kitchen, at the toilets, at work, in the garage etc.

    Also, with all the different sorting these days, I’ve decided not to sort the plastic, paper, glass etc. at the source, but just use one big container for all the clean stuff. When it’s full, I’ll take it out and sort it at the actual trashcan outside which is the place where it actually needs sorting. There’s no need to keep 5 or more different trash containers under the kitchen sink to be emptied separately.

      That seems like it would work real well until one of the bags leaks gross stuff all over it.

        Can confirm, visited someone who had exactly that happen while I was there. He was a bit flustered.

        Any gross stuff that could leak in my trash goes in the freezer, and stays frozen until trash day.

          I like my freezer not to be full of garbage, plus it doesn’t freeze instantly, so could leak on my food in there. No thanks. Or do you have a dedicated garbage freezer?
