I laughed when i read, 'keeping a shoe rack by the door'. My parents had 8 kids, and one can only imagine the evils that were tracked in. Not to mention the various housepets.
I also agree that there should be edibles growing in the house.. it is a relaxing hobby, and the mere presence of plants is beneficial.

You are correct on common sense, but still useful. I wonder about taking it a step further with backyard landscapes and other things to help create a sense of calm throughout the house.OzSport wrote: ↑Sun Dec 26, 2021 9:07 pm Here's a list of some common sense, but still useful!, tips on how to organise your home for longevity benefits:

I work as a professional urban planner, and one of the things that we are always pushing for is walkable communities, which has a direct causation on health of a community.
If you haven't tested, how do you know you are getting the results that you wanted?

Totally agree -- walkable communities are fantastic! It always saddens me when I see new developments / suburbs that are not walkable at all -- completely crowded with barely any green space due to extremely poor planning and lack of any foresight by policy makers who kowtow to greedy developers.MJClark wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 6:23 pmYou are correct on common sense, but still useful.

I'm sure you, MJClark, are aware of all of these benefits , but for those interested / new to the concept of walkable cities / communities, here are some articles that discuss walkable cities:
