The bathroom door is a given and very liberating, walk out the shower naked? You'll feel SO SO SO sexy as time goes on!
If the space allows, buy a little tatami mat, it's where I put extra throw pillows or blankets, and laying on the floor is so soothing, take a nap there, it'll change your life.
The dance zone is for when you're doing chores, it doesn't have to be a dedicated area but intentionally creating a route you can dance around like Cameron Diaz in her underwear in Charlie's angels is SO liberating too.
Create your own kitchen system, tweak it as you work, and don't worry about aesthetics, the most efficient cookware and how you can pivot in your kitchen always takes priority over looks.

No one can stop you from cleaning your house (or dancing, lounging, making art, watching tv) naked and you will NEVER have this much freedom to be naked if you get roommates !!
Also get a cat perhapsâŚAnd teach yourself to cook. Living alone is a great opportunity to get into cooking for yourself as well as cleaning up after yourself - you figure out ways to be more efficient when youâre the only one cleaning upâŚ. bonus is once you know some things you can invite friends over for dinner at your swanky new place :â)
THERE WILL BE TERRIBLE SMELLS THAT YOU WILL ENCOUNTER AND MAYBE ALSO BUGS But the good news is you will survive and be stronger for it. I miss living alone with all my heart I loved it so muchâŚ.

i like doing this sometimes because instead of being a chore it's an artistic activity. silly but it allows me to take a step away from the fear that i am unclean in essence, because i'm no longer playing myself so there's nothing to prove or avoid.
also: telling myself i only have to put away 10 items or clean for 5 minutes (instead of telling myself to clean the entire apartment) makes it much easier to convince myself to start, and i usually end up getting much more done once i'm in the zone.

As a formerly extremely messy person who now is a neat freak - I feel like a lot of not-cleaning is bc it feels too overwhelming. Set a timer for 20 minutes and do what you can. Youâll be surprised how much you can get done in 20 minutes. Take a 10 min break and repeat if needed. I do a âclosing shiftâ every night where I tidy up so that when I wake up I feel relaxed and not stressed by the mess. I think itâs easy to think of cleaning as a type of punishment or approach it from a place of shame, but trying to reframe it as âI deserve a nice & clean space, my space being tidy feels goodâ has been really helpful to me. Thinking about when youâre the messiest can help too - for me, when I get ready to go out it quickly approaches disaster, so Iâve been intentionally getting ready half an hour earlier so I have time to put my eight rejected discarded outfits back instead of throwing them on the floor.
Also having a regular hang out with friends at my place encourages me to stay on top of cleaning. Having it nice enough for people to drop in at any moment is heavenly!!! But it shouldnât just be nice for guests, it should be nice for you too! Again, you deserve it!

Do I find myself being a reply guy sometimes? Yes.
Does it brings me joy whenever my friends or someone unexpected replied to my stories? Yes.
Would you still reply to their stuff if you genuinely donât give a shit and they uninterest you but not to the level you mute their content? No.
So why not? We talk down ourselves so often let me lift you up , one âhell yeahâ âLFGâ at a time

Thereâs something special and beautiful about documenting the moment your friends shine the most. When theyâre pouring their heart and soul making something a reality for them and youâre there to capture every moment around them.
