I do this too, but also park far away from the store so I am usually alone. It is nice to unload my groceries without worrying about traffic, and takes like 30 seconds more. Plus steps! I listen to audiobooks and podcasts while doing chores. I also take five minutes here and there to sit down on the couch with my dog and snuggle. It makes me so much less stressed to take that time just to be with something that loves me unconditionally. |
I make a point of keep closets and cabinets well organized. It's a momentary psychological boost when the house is cluttered and I go to put something away and see things orderly there. I also started rolling up underwear in my drawer some years ago and much easier to tell how many clean pair I have left. |
DP but try the Peloton 10 min arms and light weights. |
OP I'm curious as to why you call these "stupid" and "dumb little" things? |

Make the bed every day. Go to bed with everything back in it's place (no messes or piles left behind). If you do it daily, it really only takes 10 minutes to just power through and put everything back where it should be.

NP- this is not true! My kids can trash a house so quickly that it will take a day to clean it all up. I spend probably 2 hours after they go to bed every night cleaning. My house is clean, but it's not a 10 min job. Sometimes I take a full day off work and do a massive deep clean. I actually think my kids are pretty clean, but they're all under 5. My life hack is audio books. It *almost* feels like I'm sitting on my comfy couch watching TV while I'm cleaning and listening...almost. |
Studies say it is healthier to let you bed air all day... |
Okay I'll try to explain. I do ten reps of each, and three rounds, all using five pound weights. It takes just under ten minutes. 1. Hold a 5lb weight in each hand - elbows straight, lift arms out to the sides making sure to keep shoulders down and back, and lift to wingspan height 10x 2. Keeping shoulders down and back lift each weight up past 90 degree angle, curling in the front of your body 10x 3. Bend knees and lean over, bend elbows and extend arms back staying immobile aside from arm movement 10x 4. Put one weight down. Hold other by edge behind head with both hands, lower and raise 10x (be careful not to hit self in back of head) 5. Holding weights sideways, keeping shoulders down, raise arms forward to shoulder height w/ straight elbows 10x 6. Put one weight down. Sit on the edge of a seat, put elbow on edge of thigh, and curl one weight up and down slowly 10x Now do the whole thing two more times. |
+1. OP? |
I've been meaning to do this for months. Do you make the crust, or do you just buy it? |
+1 I LOVE waking up to freshly brewed coffee. Truly sparks joy. |
Not PP, but thank you. I want to try this. |
Sock rings! A little plastic ring that you pull a pair of socks through, throw it in the washer and dryer and no need to put pairs together. |
Meh, leave OP alone. They started a great thread. |
