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.

A microwave sandwich griller. I saw one recommended on another of this type thread, so I gave it a try. You can’t believe how great this thing is. When I worked in an office, I had grilled sandwiches several times a week, and I still use it at home all the time.

Low-profile noise-cancelling earbuds. Lived with a snoring roommate for some months, don't know how I would've slept without those.

CPAP for the roommate and sleep issues for both of you sorted.

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

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

[–] monovergent@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

My wife doesn't just do this, she irons t-shirts inside out to protect the design, but also folds them with the design on the inside. Most of my t-shirts are black, so I have no way of telling them apart without unfolding them...

[–] helix@feddit.org 4 points 22 hours ago

Sounds like you should spend 100€ on changing your wife then! /s

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

[–] helix@feddit.org 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

If you have a microwave, there's microwave rice cookers aswell.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 day ago (6 children)

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

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

[–] Gelik@feddit.dk 4 points 1 day ago

Nice pro tip. Cooking Lentis probably too then.

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

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

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life.

[–] Libra@lemmy.ml 1 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Motherfucking pockets.. in the goddamned shower curtain.
