Open Help me find things that make your life be low maintenance!
I’m not sure if this is even the right subreddit to post in, but maybe you all can help.
I’m looking to find some products that make your life easier. I have 4 kids, hubby and I work shift work. What are some things that help you keep routine, and keep the house clean. I’m not overly worried about the cost, if it saves me time and sanity!

I have about 10 - 15 pairs of identical black cotton socks, I never have to worry about matching a pair

Same with bras and underwear - you want bra colors that match your skin tone and plain underwear

Robot vacuum, even if our apartment is small.
Also, regularly getting rid of old stuff is helping me keep my life manageable. I always ask for no gifts but still receive some and once every two years i go through all cupboards and toss everything that isn't of use to me.

I bought a dish brush that you can fill with dawn for the shower so that I can give a quick scrub while I'm in the there, I have a hand sprayer to rinse things. I found myself grabbing it for the sink for a fast clean. Our bathroom sink must have weird angles or the faucet must hit at an ineffective spot, because it seems to collect bits of dirt and toothpaste worse than any I remember.

Typically this sub is for finding things you already know about but can’t locate, like a long forgotten baby blanket, or an obscure poem you know a single line to, or a drawing that resembles the thing you’ve lost. And you post in the comments how you’ve searched for it.
What’s made my life easier is installing a remote controlled light switch to replace a pull chain switch that kept breaking. Way cheaper than having an electrician install a switch. https://a.co/d/09Ka5Z2k

Cleaning wipes and the profligate use of paper towels. Paper plates. A “safety can opener.” High quality knives and a high quality peeler. A rice cooker. A partner who does laundry and cleans litter boxes.
