Clean your home and mind! I tried to stop "somehow" (Let's Love) --Yahoo! News

The more frequently you use it, the better you decide on your "standard".

■ Once you have decided on your "standard", you can graduate from "confusion". I think that is the key to relieving the stress of housework that accumulates every day, and I would like to tell you about "what good is there after somehow quitting?" [View image] Maki-san, who makes a proposal to create a margin in your heart through a "simple life" that does not have unnecessary things. Suddenly, what kind of chopsticks do you use in the kitchen? I used to use 100-yen coins for chopsticks. Of course, I didn't get attached to it. If this is clothes or a bag, I scrutinize it and buy it, and even after I bought it, I treated it carefully, but I couldn't have that kind of feeling about the chopsticks. It's really "I'm sorry Saibashi-san". But when you think about it, you use Saibashi every day. Compared to my favorite clothes and bags, I use Saibashi more often. If so, shouldn't the chopsticks be carefully selected? At one point, I thought so again. After that, I did the "One-person Saibashi General Election". As a result of trying from cheap to expensive (about 800 yen), MUJI's bamboo chopsticks came in first. The reason is simple. The appearance when standing on a glass bottle is also beautiful. The length of 30 cm is not hot when pulling vegetables from the pot, and it is a size that can be stored in a drawer. And if you want to buy a new one, you can go buy MUJI immediately. The price is 150 yen and the cost balance is ◎. For the above reasons, the standard of my chopsticks has become "MUJI bamboo chopsticks". The more frequently you use kitchen items, the better you decide on a standard that suits you best. If you decide on a standard, you won't get lost when you buy a new one. And once you decide, it's good that you never have to worry about chopsticks again!
