I have a query—exactly how interested are people here in improving the efficiency of their daily lives? To whit, would a discussion about efficient toilet habits be welcome or unwelcome? (No, I’m not joking, nor am I working up to a toilet joke, I’m entirely serious.)

It is far more important what you are doing than how efficiently you do it. Discussions of specific low-level habits have low value of information.
Further, LW is mostly about the meta questions: how to think, how to strategise, etc.
Imagine all the attention such article would get on the RationalWiki! They would rewrite the LW page from scratch… :D
Unwelcome.
Unless it involves meta-analyses, regressions, value of information calculations, or preferably all 3!
