Unfuck Your Habitat

bowlingforgerbils:

When it comes to cleaning, Past Me used to be lazy and kind of a jerk. “Future Me can take care of that,” she’d say, usually in the evening. Then Future Me would wake up the next day and curse out Past Me for leaving such a big mess for her to clean up.

Then I started paying more attention to Unfuck Your Habitat’s nightly list of things to do to make the morning go smoothly. And Past Me started taking that list seriously. And wouldn’t you know it, Future Me was suddenly *very* grateful to Past Me for all her hard work.

(Of course, Past Me still slips up now and then. But to be fair, Past Me did not know that Future Me was going to wake up at 4am this morning with horrible stomach cramps. Lesson learned! If you can do it the night before, do it. You never know what problems Future Me will face the next day.)
