the true virtue is effective use of available resources, freely in abundance and conservatively in scarcity

gross

sponges tend to smell bad after a while. we switched to the very cheap kind that degrade quickly so we remember to replace them more often

it works!

Every week or two. Those things are a breeding ground.

we usually hand-wash pots so that they're always available, or when the dishwasher is running. I also handwash my sandwich-making spoon so I just re-use it throughout the week

a few reasons:
1) having it directly in my ear makes it easier to hear over ambient noise, which is nice when doing dishes or using the elliptical, or even just to cover the noise of passing cars; i also feel like this sometimes helps me focus while i'm working
2) i can move around without having to worry about things getting quieter as i move away from the speaker

(but i do use speakers some of the time)
