These 9 At-Home Habits Are Roommate Red Flags – Here’s How to Break Them

We've all been guilty of at least a few of these...

Habit – a word that strikes fear in the hearts of many. Whether it’s something innocuous such as nail biting or something slightly more troublesome, it’s safe to say most of us are in favour of kicking bad habits to the curb. But when it comes to your at-home life, it can feel especially challenging to pivot habitual behaviours in the right direction.

But there’s hope! Sometimes fixing patterns is as easy as identifying them – and a solution, of course. Ahead, we break down seven common bad habits and why nixing them can enrich your day-to-day life.

From not letting a pile of clothes grow too large to making your bed each morning, continue below to find out how small adjustments can make a big difference.

3. An ever-growing pile of clothes

Ah yes, the ubiquitous pile of clothes – we know it well. Perhaps it begins innocently enough as a few workout pieces laid atop a chair, but at some point, we have all been guilty of letting a pile of clothes grow before returning them to their respective homes.

While it’s not a big deal if this happens from time to time, if you’re a frequent repeat offender, it may be time to consider a solution like the 'Touch It Once' rule. If you’re not familiar, it’s the idea that when you receive something that needs to be dealt with – an email, stack of mail, and so forth – handle it right away.

So next time you’re changing out of your work clothes and into pyjamas, remember to simply touch it once.
