Blackout curtains in combination with a sunlight alarm clock to fall asleep more easily and wake up gentler without my phone.

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 24 points 3 months ago

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.

What the-? How far up there are you?

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

I'm not op, but I'm 55° north.... It's 22:25 here and this is how light it is right now. In another 4 hours, it'll be nearly full daylight again!

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

[-] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

got a pair at Costco for 70$

didn't know multiconection Bluetooth existed and they are a game changer as well. also noise cancelling is nice.

Bidet attachment for your toilet bowl. Trust me, you’ll never go back.

[-] milkisklim@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

Agree, but splurge and get one that has a water heater. No one wants cold water sprayed there.

Eyeing a rice cooker, it's really not a need-to-have but I might go for it... Edit: went for it and got one from my local asia market. :)

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 7 points 3 months ago

You won't regret it. They're such a nice thing to have and there are totally decent ones for pretty cheap.

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.

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

[-] Libra@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago

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.

You really should buy a bedbug proof mattress cover and interceptors for the legs of your bed and furniture. Trust me when I say that an ounce of prevention will save you a lot of trouble, cost, and emotional trauma. Even if it costs more, buy then anyway.

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

A Time Timer.

They're not cheap, especially for a timer that's bare bones (~20 USD).

But it has changed my work life.

  1. People who want to interrupt me while I'm working can now see how long until I have my next break. So I am interrupted less.
  2. Now I self-regulate a bit better, so I'm able to work longer without destroying myself in the process. I take breaks that help me with repetitive strain injuries and with feeling like I'm a human being and not just a machine.
  3. Now I remember to actually start timers when I start working. I know this is a bit silly, but I was having trouble creating a habit of stopping for breaks. I tried to solve this by setting timers on my phone, but I constantly forgot doing it. Now I'm reminded to start a timer by something that I see on my desk.

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

For me, literally game changing item is a game controller. For the games with native controller support it is awesome. Its easier and more confortable than mouse and keyboard. Of course it is not comparable with mouse and keyboard, especially in games heavily relied on mouse, but for anything else, on my opinion, it is a better option. My controller is quite cheap, but works well. I bought a controller to see what it is and how different it is for gaming, compared to mouse and keyboard. At first it was difficult, as i did not have an experience with controller, but now i enjoy it.
