Google or youtube the recipes.
Read the tag on your clothes before throwing them into a washing machine. Though, honestly, simply picking 30c and the weakest drying cycle is enough for almost all of my stuff.
Use a special cleaning liquid for windows and mirrors.
Don't be afraid to be clumsy. Everyone is at first.
And that's about it. Don't worry, you can do it. Just don't get too lazy.

Actually same, but make sure to never let reddit influence your purchases. That place is plagued with bots.

Air fryer has been a life saver when it comes to cooking chicken for me. It’s the only way I’ll cook meat

Highly recommend "unfuck your habitat." It's got a tumblr, a website, and a book; pick your favorite medium. It teaches housekeeping for normal people, not 1950s housewives who have nothing else to do.
If you have stuff stuck to the bottom of a pan or minerals built up in a bottle or coffee maker, soak it in vinegar it'll take it right out.
Diluted vinegar is good for cleaning mirrors and windows.
There's this stuff called "Nature's Miracle", it's an enzyme-based cleaner. Use it for cleaning the carpet after a pet throws up or pees on it.
Get in a routine and stick to it, it easier to keep stuff clean if you don't have a bunch to do at once.
Make a grocery list (and take it with you and follow it), and base it on what you want to eat so you don't buy stuff just to have it go bad in the fridge.
Sunlight is a great disinfectant.
Indoor air quality sucks compared to the outdoors even in the city, so open windows when it's nice out. Check the air quality in your weather app.
Get a few plants. They make good decoration and also serve a purpose (cleaning the air, improving concentration, boosting mood) so you make the space look decorated without having just one more goddamn thing to dust.

Buy a rice cooker. Helped me survive with barely any money for food.

I bought a rice cooker and was very happy about it. Then I left it while moving, remembered how to cook rice myself and now I have no idea why I thought I needed one. The only real advantage is that they turn off on their own and keep your rice warm for a few hours. All at the cost of having this big thing only capable of one very specific task. Of course, there are also multicookers, but they are pure cancer and halfass every single task.

Yeah, I don't see the point either. I just add one of these bad boys to the pot if I want to cook vegetables.
The rice cooker is a gimmick except for maintaining rice at temperature (to avoid getting sick with bacteria that develops otherwise). But then there are fridges for that…

Admittedly, it could still be worth it if you're eating rice daily. Also, you can cook buckwheat, millet, and other similar grains in a rice cooker. Oh, and different kinds of rice require different amounts of water and time which could be a pain to do in a pot. And even switching a pot will change those variables.

Thank you for the advice, nonas! I also found out tiktok has some pretty good beginner-friendly stuff too!

if you mean learning to cook specifically you should checkout Binging with babish, he generally makes food from tv shows and movies but does have some videos about more basic foods you could learn. I absolutely love his coffee jelly recipe :p
