Section of the magazine
Rooms set the pace of the habits that happen in them. A table covered in paperwork decides where meals are eaten. A corner with no lamp in it is never sat in after dark. The entries here are about changes made once to a room rather than decisions repeated every day by a person.
Entries in this section
Every entry carries the date it was written. The dates are the only figures on this site that we ask anybody to take on trust, and they are the reason the order below is worth reading in either direction.

A calm look at aging well in Luxembourg: housing, home setup, services, activities, and how to read the STATEC figures without overreading them.

A chair, a lamp and a surface big enough for a cup, arranged deliberately, somewhere that is not the desk and not in front of the television. No work in it, no charger in it, no storage in it. That is the entire specification.

Decluttering is usually planned as an event, so it waits for a free Saturday, and the waiting is where most of it stays. A shelf takes twenty minutes, ends in a finished shelf, and therefore gets done again.
The habits in Home and Environment run into two neighbours more often than into any others. The first is Sleep and Rest, where the question of sleep is taken up from the other side, and the second is Stress and Calm, which handles the calm end of the same subject. Readers who prefer to follow the dates rather than the sections can do that from the front page, where every entry is listed in the order it was written.
