A Roomba honestly is pretty fucking sweet.

>freeze raw, preprepared food in portions.

e.g. burger patties - takes roughly the same time to mix the meat and spices (and whatever else you like in there) whether it's for 6 patties or 20. Then individually cling wrap the raw patties and freeze them. Now you cannhave fresh, cheap, delicious burgers whenever, with almosy zero hassle - the past you did all the work.

Good going, past you.

>> No.1275687

Honestly I'm probably saving the most time cooking several portions at a time and then either emptying them over the course of three days in the fridge or - if you want a bit more variety - eating one and freezing the rest and then reheating various single portions from the freezer. Cooking single portions is a huge waste of time, and honestly I'd have to throw away half my ingredients all the time.

Wash dishes immediately after using them, never get dishpan hands again.
Reorganize your dresser from individual items (sock drawer, shirt drawer, pants drawer) to outfits suited to activity and weather (work drawer, play drawer, inclement drawer); grab a bundle and hop in the shower when you get up each morning.
Take your shoes off at the door, sweep/mop less often because most dirt is tasked into, rather than generated within, the house (parents: YMMV).

Even just doing little things like that will free up noticeable bits of time, things will go a little bit more smoothly, and stress levels go down.

To live anything resembling a modern life you have to do chores. Most people have shit habits doing them and it makes them take longer than you need them to.

>Dishwasher
Always put forks all in one spot. Then all knives in one spot, etc. When you run it you just need to grab them all and toss them in the drawer. Sort when putting them in there, not when taking them out. I've seen WAY too many people who do this wrong and just throw random utensils in and then waste time sorting.

>Laundry
Similar plan. As you fold, sort into piles that match your drawers/whatever. Nothing is dumber than people who fold into random piles, then bring the laundry to wherever they put it away and have to then sort it one by one.

>Socks
Stop fucking owning more than a few styles of sock or you waste so much time sorting them. Have one regular sock and one dress sock. Maybe one specialty sock if you need a tall work sock or something. Throw away every sock you own and buy a shitload of one type.

>Cooking
One giant, cheap crockpot meal a week. Make rice or pasta on the side. Pork shoulder, chicken thighs, beef chuck. All cheap and work with tons of different flavors to have some variety.

>Commute
If it is long, best make the most of it. Don't be in silence or garbage music. Get some audio books or relevant podcasts. It takes your mind off driving and turns wasted time into something you would do sitting on the couch anyway.

>Chores
Shop once a week or less. Only in stores that are next to each other even if you have to spend a few more bucks to shop somewhere else. Stop wasting time shopping. Lots of super markets offer delivery or pickup groceries now. Buy in bulk during good sales. Get a big chest freezer for cheap and store extra stuff from sales.

I paid $100 from a no kill shelter who rescues dogs on a county shelters kill list. And $200.00 for a very young dog who was at a different shelter. I pay $45 bucks a month for both pet insurance and $15 a month for both for flea tick heartworm and worm medication.

I spend 50 every two months for food, and 10 or 15 on milk bones.

I get a bark box every month for 20 bucks.

So somewhere under 1500 hundred a year including treats, medication toys and other stuff.. For both..

So, if both dogs live 12 years, about 18 thousand.

My roi isn't monetary its emotional. And to me worth it. My lab mix would die for me. He would fight 10 bears off if he could.

I wouldn't trade our lazy days, walks, laughs, and plays for a lousy 1500 a year.

Set ALL of your bills to auto-pay. You owe them anyway, and you'll never have to worry about if they're paid or not. If you want to see the amount you paid for something just check your bank account, you should be keeping an eye on this anyway.

Put dishes directly into the dish washer. You'd be surprised how much time is wasted in your life moving them from the sink to the dishwasher every single time you want to do a load.

Brush your teeth in the shower. Also get a suction cup mirror and shave in the shower.

Buy in bulk, especially for non-tangible items. Get the biggest pack of paper towels, toilet paper, etc. you can. Typically you pay less per roll this way, and you don't have to shop as often

Disposable plates and a minimum of cups, plates and gut wrenches make life simple and easy. I have a dishwasher but don't use it often. I leave a plastic tub of strong detergent and water in my sink. When I use a plate utensil it goes there. Washing is a quick rinse later on. I break up a dishwasher detergent pack into my dish detergent bottle and use that instead of paying stupid money for the same thing in water.

Learn to microwave effectively. Pyrex is my friend. Potatos are cheap and perfect for nuking. Stews, soups etc ditto. Foods you don't have to cook like fruit can be healthy and time-saving.

I shave in the shower without a mirror (you presumably know your own face) then take a few seconds to touch up after. Hot water is invigorating and softens beard.

I don't do coffee unless I need the sugar boost. Bulk caffeine pills get the job done. I don't smoke but use nicotine to take the edge off the absurd amounts of caffeine I need to function due severe sleep deprivation due to pain from neck damage. Nicotine lozenges are cheap, convenient and zero waste.

Barber trips waste time and money. I've used an Andis commercial pet clipper with #50 blades for many years. I shave my head for comfort and convenience. I follow up with an electric razor while surfing da web.

I buy bulk and use a chest freezer. It save trips and gets you deals. Mine is full of ribeyes my bro brings back from Minnesota. It's surprisingly cheap to eat steak every day if you source wisely.

I grill on the porch to avoid kitchen mess. That saves a shitload of work and avoids heating the house.

Write your grocery shopping list in order of where stuff is located in the store. That way you're not running all over the store when you get there.

If there's anything you do daily that's annoying, find a solution. For example every night when I showered a little water would drip out of the tub onto the floor. I bought curved splash guards that directs the water back in the tub, and now I never have to clean up water on the floor again. I installed a detachable shower head on a hose to easily clean soap and shampoo off the shower walls.

Take your clothes straight from the washer and hang wet on hangers in your closet. This demands a rather large closet with open air and quite a lot of hangers, but its worth both building one and buying hangers, as it both saves time and wears a lot less on your clothes than tumbledrying.

I have been doing this for about five years, figured it out in my student room, and when i moved into a house about the first thing i did was to put up two steel pipes above eachother for this reason.

This is such bullshit. Every test I have seen(I did a lot of research before I bought.), the square fronts did equally shit in corners. And the bulky fronts makes them maneuver very clumsily around tight areas like underneath chairs or tables. This is because the front doesn't let it turn into any directions while standing still, the front will bump into walls or chair legs.

So you basically off trade worse maneuverability for nothing.

And its not even an issue to begin with just the air from the side brush is enough to kick up and snag any dust-bunny's anyway, so after not vacuuming for 4 months I still have no problems with dusty corners. Maybe heavyer particles can build up over time, but the shitty neato sure as hell wont get them any better than a xiaomi or Roomba.

Years ago my girlfriend paid a fortune for an Afghan hound that had championship papers. It was beautiful but had serious mental problems; if you touched it in any way it would stiffen and look at you out of the corner of its eye, but not really making eye contact.

She eventually tried to GIVE it away, and people were like "wow, thanks!" but a few days later they'd bring it back. She eventually abandoned it at her parent's place where I assume they fed it until it died.

All of those other things you listed are portable, can move with you from household to household. I like the idea of a bachelor size dishwasher that is portable. Figure, something just a little larger than a microwave. It sits on the counter next to the sink, connects to the faucet, drains into the sink. Only 1 rack. Capacity for a day’s worth of dishes from 1 or 2 people. Uses a couple gallons of water.

I live in a NYC northern suburb, and had a 20 minute commute. I got a raise and a promotion and ending up getting a commute of about 1 hour. I hated it.

I have a friend that commutes 1.5 hours into NYC for work. And another that takes a bus, then a commuter line to the subway from Jersey-almost two hours.

The amount of time they spend on their commute is obscene.

Is money a factor?

If it is then organization and effective habits will save time.

Now if money is not a factor. Hire a maid to wash laundry and clean the house once a week "if its needs more than that you need are disgusting or have high expectations". This is not a wife. You can exchange this person whenever. Don't commute to work its a waste of time. If you are hourly you are not making money. If you are salary its a waste of personal time. Get a robo cleaner that can be set to a schedule when the maid is not there. Meal prep.

Quit you job, start something at your own and do your own schedule. Its much simpler than it look like. If you're good at computer for example, calculate how much you can charge and take your brake when you want and skip traffic and/or charge for every move you make.

Stop washing yourself everyday, do it every 2 days. If you're someone who smell turkey has much has some people, it doesn't change anything at your odour.

Check out how much you can save on sleep. There's way to skip an hour or two sleep without missing any of it. Personnaly, I sleep two times a day. I see an opportunity and I know I wont do anything worth my time, then sleep and take other normal sleep time to do something else.

Buy a condo or live in an apartment = No outside maintenance. The downside is neighbors.

If you have a cat, get a litter robot. It's expensive as fuck, and worth it.

Two dishwashers, one for clean, one for dirty. 80% of your dishes you use straight out of the dishwasher. Put dirty dishes in the dirty dishwasher. If you've used most of the clean dishes, go ahead and start loading the dirties in it and run it. Unless your mom lives with you there is no reason to empty it and put them all away every time. The drawer dishwashers are good for this.

Set your bills to autopay more than the normal monthly payment every month. I get refund checks from my electric company and water company once a year from this. (Fuck At&t, where my bill is never the same two months in a row.)

+1 for audiobooks as others mentioned.

Have _less_ stuff. My mom had literally hundreds of christmas decorations that had to be put up and taken down every year. That made me hate holidays because it was an assload of work. I have a ( uno one singular ) wreath and am happier for it.

"Please place me on your do not call list." & "Unsubscribe" are your friends.

Social media is not your friend. This is a pipeline of bullshittery you don't have to put up with.

Adblock plus.

Throw away all of your socks and replace them with black crew socks. When they fade, throw them out and replace. Matching socks is not a productive use of your time.

I'd like to recommend combination washer-dryer units, but I can't. I've tried them and they suck.

Steam, not iron.

If you can Carpool with a dependable person, this can give you hours of your life back. Vanpool is even better because the schedule is more predictable.

If you like to make or build stuff, join a Makerspace. You get access to tools and workspace without having to own, service, and store them. If you do this, clean up after yourself. ATX in Austin is awesome.

Crock pot will create many meals for one, allowing you to meal prep for the week. A good sized crock pot costs less than $50. There's tons of recipes online to make all sorts of crazy shit in one. Anyone buying into the thermomix bullshit is retarded.

What a deeply ignorant comment to make, you shouldn't be behind the wheel if you aren't willing to give the activity of driving your complete attention. There is still ongoing research into the effect of distractions on drivers, its very complex issue. Similarly no passenger should have any expectation of interaction with the driver should they need to concentrate on the task at hand.
If you feel comfortable interacting with passengers as a driver then that is your choice. If as a passenger you aren't comfortable with the amount of concentration a driver is giving the road then simply don't put totally yourself in that position.
As a driver you should absolutely not react aggressively to a distracting passenger,simply pull over as soon as it's safe and tell them you refuse to continue under these circumstances,suggest get out o r shut up.

you should treat half a tank as an empty tank as much as possible, and fill up whenever you have the time. if something fucked up happens and you need to be far away asap, you're probably not going to want to stop for gas.

Nah you can schedule them to run whenever you want. Mine is set for Tuesday and Friday starting at 9am. Not to be a Roomba shill but they've dramatically improved them with the new 980 model. They now go in straight lines instead of the random zig zag lines. You can also set them for two passes where they do the entire room forward and backwards, then a second time side to side. There's also an edge clean where the last thing they do is run the boarder to get any dust bunnies or whatever that may have been blown against the sides. Also with the 980 it does an entire floor, not just room by room. Press the button and it cleans until the battery runs low, recharges, then picks back up where it left off until the whole floor level is clean. You don't get that with the China knockoffs, nor do they have near the level of aftermarket support

They automatically go back to the docking station when the battery gets low. The 980 has six sensors (circled) on the bottom to detect stairs. I run mine upstairs on carpet all the time and it's never once fallen down the stairs. People don't realize with the older models you have to take them from room to room in order to get the job done completely. Otherwise they just run around until their battery is almost dead and then they dock and that's all they clean. You'll have to physically put the older models in one room at a time in order for them to fully clean each room. The 880 model has about enough battery for about 3 average rooms, but once it's outta juice it docks and that's that. I got the 980 because it cleans until the battery gets low, docks, recharges, and picks up where it left off until the whole floor level has been done.

One more cool thing is you can see a map of where it cleaned on your phone. This is my downstairs and you can see the white area where she had to dodge obsticals like the couches and coffee table in the middle of the living room. I got no affiliation with the company but I get irritated when I see someone trying to say a Chinese knockoff is better just because it's cheaper. It's cheaper because it's shit and there's no parts support for them. Suckers buy them and get disappointed when it doesn't do what they thought it would. I did my homework because it was pricy and I didn't wanna get duped. I can honestly say the 980 is a quality product that works and works well. From first hand experience I can truely reccomend it.

Live with your family, like a tribal unit
Cooking energy for 5 is almost the same as the energy used by 1, you'll wash 2 pots every 5 ppl instead of 2 per 1.
Reheating your meal 3 or 4 times wont be efficient.
If one perdón cleans the kitchen, the hall and the main room he/she will waste less energy than 5 ppl cleaning 4 or 5 different kitchens.
Even washing a bulk of clothes is slightly effective.
Tv, internet, pests, etc are slightly better in family.
An example: I eat 5 boiled eggs a day, i save gas by not frying em (3 eggs wouldnt be efficient) but when we are 4 i use the same energy for our 14 boiled eggs (9 for breakfast)

To reiterate here, he was talking about listening to audiobooks while driving. Not texting, doing makeup, sleeping, or making a meal.

Don't know why you're all so triggered. You guys have *probably* never driven to work daily in your life.

I don't get this. Is this a gas stove meme?
Using a normal pot it takes me about 12 mins to cook perfect rice. All I do it add rice and water, put stove in rage mode until it starts to simmer, then put it in lowest setting with a lid until I finished cooking the other shit

Honestly, get into a relationship. My wife cleans my clothes and cooks amazing meals. I never have to do that again in my life. Also with dual income we can afford nicer things. I fix stuff when it breaks, she cooks, I do dishes, she does laundry. We've cut our work in half by working together. We each have more free time this way. Gonna give this the benefit of the doubt this advise will be taken seriously since this is /diy/ and not /b/

Certain Harbor Freight shit isn't bad. We bought a tile saw there that works like a champ. That being said, the drill we bought to mix the mortar for the tile literally made it through one bucket before the motor burned out and almost caught fire.

HF'S electrical tools are mostly shit, that being said I have a ton of their stuff at my house. It's hit or miss, just read the reviews first to see what others have to say. I can appreciate a good tool, but it's so tempting to save money if a tool gets the job done anyway
