The refrigerator was almost (always) empty. The number of furnitures got reduced to a minimum and dirt collectors had been eliminated. Everything that I didn’t need necessarily I sold or I simply gave away. My clothes had also to be unified, like e.g. I only have one type of sox. Washing had to be very easy. Last but not least I had a sticker on my toilett-cover. It said „Please don’t pee while standing!“ (or whatever the translation is for „Bitte nicht im Stehen pinkeln!“). I wanted to be on the save side when I had to clean my own toilett room. The sticker was in German, English („Take a seat please“) and French („Celui qui s’assied ne se moulle pas les pieds!“). I was confident the sticker works because it was in red and it clearly indicated what is not to be done.
