>> Place the objects you use on a day-to-day basis within hand reach so as not to have to raise your arms (can put you off balance) or bend down (light-headedness, risks for your back, puts a strain an your knees);
>> Put objects together: for instance, putting the coffee or tea near the coffee machine or kettle, and those last two items near the water supply is more practical in the morning if you want to avoid holding heavy loads and prevent burn risks.
>> Place heavy objects level with your elbows (e.g. stewpans) and certainly not too high or too low!
