Gretchen Rubin Guide: Make Life Easier

Some things just make life easier—small, simple items that streamline daily tasks and remove tiny frustrations. As Samuel Johnson wrote, “To live in perpetual want of little things, is a state not indeed of torture, but of constant vexation.”

Sometimes, the right tool at the right time can make our lives much better.

Smooth-edge can opener

A friend just told me about this item. No better way to open a can. 

 

Swedish dishcloths

Reusable, pretty, absorbent. 

1-minute hourglass timer

For the one-minute rule.

Mr. Clean Magic Erasers

These things really are magic at making mess and grease and marks disappear.

Shelf spinner

Sometimes called a “Lazy Susan,” (conflicting theories about why) these devices are handy for all kinds of things. 

Command Hooks

They’re a go-to for college dorms for a reason. The perfect solution when you want to use your vertical space without drilling holes or damaging walls.

Packing cubes

I love packing cubes. They help me stay organized while traveling, plus they can save quite a bit of space in a suitcase.
