Merino wool T-shirts. Cost about 30€ instead of previously used 3€ cotton T-shirts. Can wear one for about 3 weeks without washing, with no body odor. Much more pleasant to the skin, even for doing sports, driving, etc. Also, warm in winter, airy in summer. Plan to switch most clothing to merino wool.

#82- all matching socks. No more time spent pairing. - clothes drying racks that hook onto radiators. Reduces drying time and clothes crumpling - wired mechanical keyboard. Wired is simpler than wireless. Quality ones have n-key support - bicycle fenders - digital wrist watch so that I check my phone less.
I simply stopped pairing socks 30 years ago. I have experienced no ill effects wearing unmatched socks.

Works great. I have a segment of unpaved road on my commute. Greatly improves trousers and shoes cleanliness.

#85Recently, I got air purifiers. I really like them so far, and I purchased a couple models from Vornado. Their air flow technology pairs really well with the air purifying. Their fans are the only ones I buy. Logitech unifying wireless mouse and keyboard. Really seamless to use between two computers and my monitor’s built in KVM while only taking up a single USB port. I even alternate between mice for ergonomics. Wind…

#89CO2 sensors for every room in my apartment. Before monitoring the CO2 levels I did not realize the relation of tiredness, mental fatigue and high CO2 levels.
Which ones did you get? I've been thinking along similar lines recently, but they are somewhat expensive and it's hard to say which ones are even legit. So far the MH-Z19 modules are on the top of my list for pairing with an ESP or something and logging data to NAS but I've yet to order any.

#90Beats Fit Pro. My first and only wireless earbuds and it's been a game changer. (I think this is a recommendation more for a category than a specific product.)
