If flossing is hard because it's difficult to get the floss between your teeth, then you need braces.

Ever since I got braces, for one, I smile with my whole mouth now, and for two, flossing is a quick 30 second in and out procedure that helps keep my breath smelling better.

If you have a detachable faucet, you can stretch it over to fill your coffee machine directly.

2 things.

1. Brushing my teeth in the shower
2. Sitting on the toilet backwards so I can use the tank as a table.

In most of the places I’ve lived, I’ve had hot water fixtures that gradually started dripping again no matter how tightly I turned them off—I figured the problem was that the valves were weakened from being overtightened, and I was faced with the tradeoff of continuing to overtighten them and gradually make the problem worse, or undertighten them and deal with the drip.

But recently I realized the real issue was that the valves were shrinking after they cooled off, causing the seal to loosen. So I changed my routine: after using the hot water, I'll shut the water off lightly, then wait 30 minutes for the valve to cool and tighten it again.

Pausing for 5 seconds before opening the fridge to plan what I need to get saves time and electricity by only having to open the fridge door once.

The dishwasher should be run when it's convenient, not when it's full.

I run the dishwasher so it's finished at least an hour before I start dinner. So when I start cooking, 1. all the dishes are clean, and 2. the dishwasher is empty. This will save you so much effort if you can just learn to run the thing half full once in a while.

Saying no instead of trying to fix everyone's problems. I'm bit handy at fixing a lot of things and I'm happy to teach people how to fix stuff but sadly most of them don't want to learn and just see me as a tool.

I suffered from back pain. Until one doc recommended one of those 20$ abs rollers. Like 20 reps take 3 minutes? Boom. No more back pain. Actually had to quit a more physical job because of this.

Gently shaking the grinder while pushing down on the button?

Changes the grind time from 20 seconds according to the directions to 3-4 seconds.

Putting clothes I want to change into later/the following day in a packing cube. It saves going through drawers and the closet to decide what to wear when I’m trying to get my brain going or distracted.

I'll bite the bullet on this one.

Maybe it's not embarrassingly late because it was decades ago and I was a dumb teenager, but wiping your ass while sitting. Every time I took a shit, I'd stand up and then wipe.

Much easier now sitting down since the toilet seat basically keeps your cheeks spread for you.

Now just wish I had the right hookups to install a bidet toilet. That would be a real game changer.
