Recognizing new and better places to put things will help facilitate easy living. For example, if it's difficult to bend to the floor, try hanging the garbage bag from a hook in your broom closet. Keep frequently used utensils or even dishes in lower cabinets so you can reach them easily. If you are visually impaired, it's important to keep everything in a specific place and return it as soon as you're through. You will avoid encounters with sharp objects and the frustration of losing something.
Kitchen tools are lifesavers.
Learn how to incorporate special tools into your routine and soon you'll be inventing some of your own. These products can be found in independent living product catalogs. Before buying a product, remember to test it for ease of use. Some carts have a rim to prevent things from slipping off. A reacher is a long tool with a retractable hook controlled by hand.
