Blackout curtains in combination with a sunlight alarm clock to fall asleep more easily and wake up gentler without my phone.

These are just frankly necessary if you live far enough north. When I'm going to sleep at 11pm ish, the sun is still up lmao.

Went to the arctic circle for the first time. It's crazy how bright out it is at night. This is 12:30AM just after midnight.

One of those flip boards for folding shirts, especially if you’re adhd, it makes it so you can neatly fold them and still see the front of the shirt so no more unfolding a bunch of things to check if it’s what you want and then just get left there unfolded

genuinely curious, do most people fold shirts so the front ends up inside? I pretty much just copied the way they fold them at stores so the front is on display

Noise canceling headphones. Yes, they exist for under $100, maybe not the best, but they’re a godsend.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago (5 children)

got a pair at Costco for 70$

didn't know multiconection Bluetooth existed and they are a game changer as well. also noise cancelling is nice.

Eyeing a rice cooker, it's really not a need-to-have but I might go for it...

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Pro tip, you can also cook oatmeal and beans in it and it's better then any other way.

Nice pro tip. Cooking Lentis probably too then.

I love mine. Get a cheap analogue one that works with a magnet. Perfect rice every time

[–] Gelik@feddit.dk 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Nice one. Gonna check out the models at the Asia super market nearby. I mean rice is a staple in Asian kitchen!

Shower curtain with pockets. Never again will you knock bottles off of those inadequate shelves.

[–] Libra@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wait, I've been on this earth for 52 years and somehow didn't know they make shower curtains with fucking pockets?! I'm going to go buy one right now.

As someone that works from home and eats a lot of sandwiches; a bread maker. Great for pizza dough too!

[–] Libra@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

Oh damn, I hadn't thought about this but that's not a bad idea. My mom used to have one when I was a teenager and would make this potato bread that I friggin' loved. She always said it was dead simple, maybe it's time to look into that myself.
