Apartment maintenance

While my apartment is not clean and not tidy, I came to some realizations.
Starting with the goals:

1. Try to avoid sunlight, in an optimal way.
2. Try to avoid mold.
3. Try to save energy (electricity, gas, whatever)
4. Try to eliminate insects, and whenever there are, try to not let them out alive, and not to let them reproduce inside.
5. Try to keep the apartment optimally hot in cold weather, and try to keep it optimally cold in hot weather.
6. Try to reduce exposure to air pollution like Radon and like spray or vehicles.
7. Try to keep it as quiet as possible

Now for the methods:

1. Keep the apartment closed unless there is water or moisture in it, like wet floor or while showering or while cooking, or if it is evident that the air inside is moist due to some other reason like being closed for too long.
2. Hours prior to sleeping, If you lack the luck to have a roller shutter, block your shutter with plywood or mattress or some object which blocks sunlight from outside.
3. Customize your screens to minimal brightness unless they are extremely dimable, try to not surpass the threshold that causes you to struggle to read or see.
   Use night mode whenever possible.
   This is steemd.com's only defect that I know about as a software.
   Google has Blackle, steemit and youtube have night mode too.
   I use duckduckgo.com as a search engine, and I doubt if they have a night vision.
   4.1. Avoid uncovered standing water and open food outside of your refrigerator.
   4.2 Spill some soap or other antibiotic substance in your toilet, to prevent flies and bugs from drinking.
   4.3 Use a fly roaster when you are awake, so to not ruin your sleep, and only place it where it lights on you as least as possible, and better hidden from you.
   4.4 Kill extra flies and moths with your own hands
   4.5 Avoid pesticide sprays. They are toxic for you too.

5.1. In cold weather, try to keep your apartment closed at night, and try to pick the hottest days in cold seasons to open it during daytime.
5.2 In hot weather, open windows only when it is dark outside, until before sunrise, or a few hours past it.
then close the apartment and only then activate the air conditioner for 1-2 hours on combined drying and cooling mode. This will optimally cool and dry your apartment.
If you go to work in the morning, you may skip the AC part, or try to a shortened version of these instructions that ends before you go to sleep at night, which means closing your apartment 1 hour before you go to sleep, activate your AC for 1/3-2/3 of an hour, and then turn it off and go to sleep.

I wanted to feel the tags economy, frugality and other tags as well, but was limited to 5 tags.
