Tokyo woman and Beijing woman work overtime until 23:00, then do many things in the hour before bed

Beijing Woman's Illustrated Guide has started airing,

have you watched it?

Did you find yourself in her?

Struggling step by step from innocent ignorance,

reaching the pinnacle, achieving your ideals?

People striving in the city,

often work overtime late into the night,

and by the time they get home it is often 11 or 12 o'clock,

so after getting home they take a shower, play on their phone for a bit, and go to sleep.

But the Japanese woman Xiaolu is introducing today,

although she also often works overtime,

can still use the hour before bed to do many things,

making her life different.

1. Grow easy-care green plants

Her home is full of all kinds of green plants,

after coming home from work,

she uses the hour before bed to care for them,

let's see how she does it.

Placing a few pots of green plants at home

is a stress-relief method that saves money and works quickly.

A home with green plants blended in brings a completely different visual enjoyment,

watering them even becomes a way to relax,

the black shelf she placed by the window

makes up for not having a windowsill,

letting the plants fully enjoy the sunlight without feeling oppressed.

The relatively wide area by the window

is suitable for growing the larger Monstera deliciosa.

Monstera deliciosa likes warmth,

the temperature by the window can satisfy that,

you just need to keep the potting soil dry but not cracked.

Growing hydroponic pea shoots in the kitchen

can be said to be a fairly popular practice,

because they are easy to keep alive, with no special care needed,

they have tenacious vitality and are not fussy,

and they can grow in a short time,

then be cut and eaten.

Along the wall of the dining room opposite the kitchen,

on a row of relatively large storage cabinets,

everything is green plants,

but one limiting condition for growing green plants here is the water source,

so you can grow some drought-tolerant plants,

such as cactus, cactus ball, and spider plant.

Because the green plants are all different,

the choice of flower pots should be as uniform as possible,

gray kraft paper bags, flower pots, cloth bags,

make the corner look clean and tidy,

easily creating a comfortable home living space.

2. 10 minutes to tidy the room

Every day after getting home she spends 10 minutes

organizing and tidying up her small home.

This is what her living room looks like,

because the overall tone is gray,

the items are all black, white, and gray,

with a single color scheme, it looks fairly tidy without much effort.

On the not-so-large sofa,

are placed cushions of all sizes,

as well as plush seat pads,

although there are a lot of them, because the style is uniform,

there is no need to deliberately put them away.

Even the storage items at home are gray,

gray felt storage baskets, gray storage boxes...

This can save her a lot of time,

rather than hiding them away,

leaving them out can also serve a decorative purpose.

Behind the partition cabinet in the living room,

the feather duster, brushes, and so on used for cleaning

are all hung openly on the wall,

because this makes them more convenient to use.

But the reason they do not feel like an eyesore is that

these cleaning tools are very consistent in both size and style.

3. 10 minutes every day to prepare breakfast

On busy days,

many people solve breakfast on the street,

or simply skip it.

But she eats breakfast at home every day,

her secret to a quick breakfast is

not turning on the stove and not using pots,

in the morning she mainly eats bread, donuts, sandwiches, egg tarts, and so on,

saving the time of scrubbing pots and washing plates.

If everything is bought ready-made, would it not get repetitive?

Actually, it can be varied like this:

pair it with different flavors of jam that you like,

and match it with different coffees.

She also chooses and matches the plates according to her mood.

With simple preparation, you can enjoy breakfast time at home.

Sometimes she also pairs it with fruit yogurt,

the night before,

she prepares cut kiwi in the refrigerator,

and the next morning she just needs to pour in the yogurt.

No matter how busy she is,

she still makes time to take care of herself,

seeking a balance between herself and work.
