Publisher's Review
How to Make Housework Easier for Busy Modern People

“I want to be free from the stress of housework.”
“I want to live more comfortably.”
“I want to store things more easily.”
“I wish I had more time.”

This is probably something everyone worries about.
Aki says that even one small idea can make a difference.
Even small ideas, when they become habits, can make a big difference in the results.
She said that whenever she felt annoyed, she changed her method and started to enjoy it as if it were a game, eliminating 'annoyance points' one by one.
As you read this book, you will realize that you can only do well in life if your life becomes easier.
It's not a special technique, but the small effort of taking one less step and reducing one process that can ease the burden.
Housework is repeated without rest 365 days a year.
Reduce stress with various ideas.

Full of homemaking ideas that even the most seasoned homemaker can do.

“Now, it feels like I barely do any housework except cooking,” says Aki.
There are many ideas I want to try, such as storage methods that solve problems without moving a single step, cleaning tool arrangement methods that reduce the hassle of taking them out, ways to reduce the movement path when washing and drying clothes, throwing socks, underwear, and sportswear in baskets instead of folding them, making space under the dining table to store books, how to use a detergent container that can be pressed with one hand, designing a movement path that minimizes movement when cooking, eliminating shopping stress by buying a year's worth of daily necessities, storing messages that you don't have to remember, and organizing documents without worrying about a lifetime.
All the ideas can be understood just by looking at the pictures and titles without the burden of reading, so it can be called a 'housekeeping book tailored to the ghost writer.'
Start with areas of your life you're less confident in, like cleaning, laundry, cooking, organizing, and storage.

Find balance in your life by reducing the burden of household chores.


Aki's way of living can be summarized into three principles: "Immediate processing + Location optimization + Giving up perfectionism."
Before you get tired of trying to do everything perfectly, I emphasize that you should use the time you save by reducing the burden of housework 'for yourself.'
As I have more time, I have more room to be warmer and kinder to my family.
Reducing housework is ultimately a way to take care of myself.

As you flip through the pages, you'll come across ideas you can try right away.
Don't just think about it, move your hands first.
Just a few changes can make housework much easier.
Housework, now requires skill, not effort.
