Until a few years ago, I was a messed up person. I had little to no idea of cooking, cleaning or anything- you name the household task. 

 Eventually, I got a job that required me to settle on a different city. I realized this was not going to be easy.  As I started cooking, I realized that I should learn cleaning too as untidy kitchen invited pests and insects. I needed clean ironed clothes for my Office and that required regular laundry. One thing brought the other and  I ended up spending half of my waking hours in household chores. Something I cannot call as efficient by any means. 

It was at this juncture that I started to reach out to the elders and those who are more efficient to learn the tricks and hacks. I learnt some on my own as well.

It has been years now, and I have completely changed. I have become efficient in my routine task, and I can fit in some hobbies as well.
