  1. Yes I have done all these things 6 months ago, and I’ve got to do it again, electronics and chargers strings that have frayed. I’ve just thrown away ink pens I’ve had for a year or more, my new ones don’t last 2 months. I buy in bulk bc I get use to that style. Then they change and then the news bleed. I don’t like certain things to change. If it works don’t change it.

  2. Don’t throw away canvas, or other types of, bags. Reuse them when you go shopping so you don’t get plastic bags!

  3. Very helpful. I’m starting with the cabinet under my bathroom sink because that annoys me the most then on to the linen closet.
