We all have habits we’d like to develop. And by “like to develop,” we mean that we all have habits we’ve attempted to develop, but struggled with for years.
So, if that’s you, there is no need to feel bad about yourself. You’re definitely not alone!
Fortunately, a tiny house is the secret habit-building tool you’ve been missing.
Have you been hoping someone or something would come along and crack the whip in a few areas?
Excellent. You’re about to develop the five habits you’ve always wanted thanks to a tiny house!
Are you that person who is always late because you can’t find your keys, your closet is a mess, and the dog hid one of your shoes?
This type of chaos can easily happen in traditional houses or apartments, but it doesn’t happen in tiny homes.
When you live in a tiny house, you will own fewer things. The dog will also have fewer places to hide your stuff, and your keys will always be in the same place because there are fewer surfaces to set them down on.
The first several times you leave your new tiny home, you’ll feel like you’re forgetting things. Really, though, you’ll just be bathing in the time gained from not gathering items, searching for things, and making sure the burners are off.
Are you about to be the person who’s early to everything?!
Be honest. Do you leave wet towels in strange places after you shower? Because you won’t do it in a tiny home!
Leaving wet towels about can cause mildew, as well as relationship strife if you happen to cohabitate. It might seem like a harmless habit, but if it’s one that grinds your gears, you can rest assured that your tiny home will help you nix this bad habit.
Tiny homes are great tools for teaching tidiness because you will instantly suffer the repercussions of any poor choices. Case in point: if you do leave that wet towel on the floor, you will instantly step on it.
Trust us, you will learn to hang up your wet towels.
After all, you live in a tiny house now, and the hook is right there.
According to our clients who like to cook from scratch, it takes just ten minutes to clean a tiny home kitchen if you have a dishwasher.
(And less than fifteen minutes if you didn’t choose that tiny home upgrade.)
This speed is thanks in part to the fact that your tiny house will teach you to clean as you cook.
Your tiny house will teach you this habit using a few different tactics.
First, because counter space is more limited, your tiny house will point out that it makes sense to put an ingredient away after using it, which you will come to do without even thinking about it.
Second, you won’t have endless dishes to deal with because you won’t have endless dishes.
In traditional homes, it isn’t unusual to have five mixing bowls or sixteen place settings worth of
silverware, but really who needs all of that? Your tiny house will nip overconsumption in the bud. And because you’ll have fewer cooking utensils, you’ll be encouraged to clean as you cook so you have your tools available for eating and serving once the cooking part is done.
Third, your tiny house will make cleaning so easy.
The sponge is literally right next to you. So where in a normal house you’d just move on to a clean section of countertop, your tiny house will have you wiping down the counter as you go.
Tiny homes are a great tool for sussing out potential partners (and relationship red flags!).
When you tell someone you live in a tiny house, their response will be awe-filled or aw-ful and this will tell you a lot about your future compatibility.
Tiny houses also concentrate a person’s energy, so even if you couldn’t get a read on them at the restaurant, you’ll definitely feel their vibe if you invite them over for a nightcap at your tiny house!
So if you’re the person who worries you have a ‘bad picker,’ you no longer have to fear. Your tiny house will have your back and will ensure you date more evolved humans.
Do you have a bunch of sports equipment you never use? Or craft supplies you never play with? If you’ve been meaning to set aside more time for the things that bring you joy, your tiny house is going to be your ultimate accountability partner.
When you live in a tiny house, you will have to evaluate what’s most important to you. This means you can’t keep the hockey gear unless you are actively playing hockey.
But this isn’t the only way your tiny house will encourage your hobbies!
When you live in a small space like a tiny home, you’ll see items related to your hobby more often, which will encourage you to indulge in them more. Don’t believe us? Just try walking past your rhinestone collection sixteen times per day and not being tempted to craft!
Your hobbies used to be confined to a basement, but now they live in a place of importanceyour tiny house! And your tiny house is going to ensure you develop the habit of enjoying them
more.
We only listed five habits, but the truth is that tiny houses will help shape many areas of your life. Everything from your consumption habits to your friendship patterns will be reevaluated through the lens of your tiny home. It’s a tool that will bring you back to yourself every time.
Are you ready to develop the habits you’ve always wanted? Because if so, the tiny house lifestyle is waiting!
