The inventory management of daily necessities is sometimes troublesome, but as long as you master the methods, you can significantly reduce your family burden. Yamada Megane, a Japanese blogger who advocates living in a simple life, shares how she can realize a time-saving and peaceful lifestyle through "stopping from half a year to one year" while she and her husband are living in a very simple life.

Adhering to the simplicity and not forgetting to stock up. The key is to feel at ease

Yamada, who is over 50 years old and lives in an old apartment in 40 years, and her husband adheres to the life philosophy of "not having too many items as much as possible", but only exceptions to daily necessities, they always maintain a stock of six months to one year.

She said that this way of life has changed since the epidemic situation. When she moved, and the familiar supermarket and pharmacy store were out of stock, she had spent her daily life in a state of anxiety, and decided to adjust her mind and prepare a lot of goods to increase her sense of security in life.

Fixed brand and mastering consumption speed are management points

In order to stabilize the inventory of daily necessities for one year, Yamada adopted two strategies: one is to use specific brands and products regularly to avoid frequent changes and affect stockpiling; the other is to confirm the usage cycle of each product, and then calculate the required quantity.

For example, almost all her toiletries use a multi-purpose cleaner with coconut ingredients, which is not only suitable for washing clothes, dishes, hands, but even as a shower gel. Use the 2-liter large-capacity version, one can be used for half a year, so it is just good to have two cans. In addition, this product does not require a refill package, just change the pump head, which is easy to operate and saves space.

Replace paper with hygienic paper. The type of compression product

The amount of hygienic paper is large and not cheap, so she simply stopped using it and used hygienic paper for wiping purposes. "Even if you wipe the dirt, it's enough to deal with it. We even put hygienic paper racks on the kitchen wall for easy use." In this way, the paper preparations have become more simple, just prepare hygienic paper and hand wipes that can be used as kitchen towels.

In addition to a small amount of pocket paper and moistened paper towels for anti-disaster purposes, her family mainly uses two types of paper, which greatly reduces the quantity of products and the pressure of the storage. "As long as you reduce one consumable, you can reduce many management issues."

Set a fixed supplement timer to combine anti-disaster supplies and make it more efficient.

Yamada will complete annual supplements around October every year, and take advantage of the busy period at the end of the year to ensure that pressure can be reduced psychologically and timely.

She pointed out that prices have continued to rise in recent years, and preparing in advance can help people not chase and promote sales. "Set up a good time point yourself, such as March or September, and you can also check anti-disaster items at the same time, so that the preparation will no longer be a burden."
