I sometimes give excellent advice that I myself don't always take.
The upside of that is, at least you know the right words, even when you can't always hear them.... By which I mean, ditto.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
What Erin Said. Also, timers are awesome. Pick one thing (at random, if necessary), set a timer, and work on it for 15 min. or 10 or 5. And listen, from the lady who is ridiculously grateful for your job-saving wakeup calls, sometimes we need help on the most ordinary things. IOW, your phone is about to ring.

Indeed...It's the extraordinary things we rise to. It's scrubbing the toilet that defeats us.

I just - well, examined my toilet carefully, and decided it does not need scrubbing! AIFG!
(The other one, the one the three year old uses, does. Note me here, not scrubbing it.)

I don't mind toilets (mine, that is) but laundry? I DESPISE it. The folding and the putting it away.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
My usual rule is 20 minuets. But for certain jobs -- 5 things would be excellent. Like putting clothes away. I hate it, I dont do it, yet get frustrated when I can't find things. 5 things would never finish the job, but 5 more things would be put away and that would be excellent.

I'd like to note that while my boyfriend is building a laser-time-travel mousetrap, our 2 cats are sleeping on the back of the big comfy chair.
Better mousetrap, my ass.
