The art of making do is a bit of a lost practice of common sense in our current culture. We buy gadgets that perform just one task (melon baller or rice cooker...) and in our attempt to find quicker and easier ways to do things, we often unnecessarily complicate our homes with clutter. A product is only as good as your ability to access and use it.We unpack what it means to 'make do' and what areas we've both been making do with positive outcomes. No cake server... can you use an egg flip? No salad servers... can you use tongs or cutlery? No microwave... can you reheat food on your stovetop?The benefits of making do are that you will save money, reduce waste, increase your creativity and problem solving skills, and save time.When you next need to solve a problem in your home, is there a 'make do' option that you could try out before you purchase something new?You may also like to listen to these episodes:The Vacuum EffectConfirmation BiasFresh EyesJoin our communityBecome a Patron – your monthly donation makes a huge difference to me being able to produce this podcast.
