Apartment Therapy

   Personally, I think continuing to be a minimalist is the best strategy, but that may also depend on your personality. I need my environment to be tidy, so keeping maintenance manageable is a priority. Apartment Therapy, the konmari method and the book Home Comforts are good resources for this.

   In terms of gadgets, my rice cooker (with timer) is essential for me. I eat steel cut oatmeal every breakfast. The timer allows me to cook it overnight so it is ready in the morning. If you are only doing oatmeal the microwave works well, but I also do a lot of rice.

   Speaking of which, (again) if you do cook, the microwave is also fantastic. Fast and nutritious for whole foods. Try sweet potatoes(yams) in the microwave.
