I finally found a time-management-unfucking-system that works for me, and wanted to share it. I have trouble with my attention span, so even 20/10 and 45/15 aggravated me. So, I listed three things to do: 1. Must do. 2. Should do, but have been putting it off a while, what's another day going to matter? 3. Want to do. I then do a little bit of each, and when I lose interest in one, I move to the next until they are all done. (continued)

For example, I needed to clean my kitchen. I had been putting off shredding my old bills for months and had a pile of paperwork. I really wanted give myself a facial and do a pedicure, and maybe curl my hair. So I did some dishes, put a mask on, shredded some papers, and then headed back to the kitchen. Everything got done, and much more. Just wanted to share with the people who hate following clocks, like me.
Whatever works for you!
My assignment is done. The last load of laundry is still going in the dryer, and there is maybe one load of dishes left. Currently taking 10 minutes to make a cup of tea (with my clean spoon and mug) and then off to fold some more clothes.

I need unfucking my habitat / life advice. I recently had to move on short notice, everything got turned upside down. I don't even know where to start with unpacking my shit in a smaller space... and I hate doing dishes. Help me kill the piles before they take over!

One pile at a time. If you’re dealing with limited space, you may need to get rid of some stuff, or get creative with storage. Use everything you can think of for storage: under the bed, behind the couch, double up in the closets, wherever you can fit stuff (neatly), fit it. Just attack one pile until it’s not a pile anymore and then move on to the next one.
Here’s the thing about dishes. Most people hate doing them because they leave them until the sink and counters are erupting with them. You only use a few dishes at a time. Keep up with them. Wash them as soon as you use them. And if you’re making dinner or something that’s going to use a lot of dishes, fill your sink with hot soapy water before you get started and clean as you go.
For the tattoo ink on carpet, Try Goo Gone. Silly name, but this stuff works.
