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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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.
t edit And this discussion is prompting me to stop reading Doonesbury and go was some dishes. Maybe not all, but some.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Of course, smonster!
we have four cats. We should have MORE mice for those lazy bastards to chase.
The indoor/outdoor cats DOES kill birds, I suppose...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Put me in the "what Erin said" camp as well.
As someone who frequently uses both the 5 things rule (mostly for clothes) and the timer, I've found that creating a done! list, rather than a to do list, can also be helpful for me. It lets me focus on what I have accomplished, instead of what I should do, plus gives me a reason to stop working/be in front of the computer for a few minutes between tasks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I never manage to be in the city for Manhattanhenge, but it's awesome.

That's a good idea, Perkins! Sometimes I do that in my journal; try to focus on the stuff I DID get to, instead of the infinity of crap I didn't.
Sometimes, i surprise myself!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
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.
Yeah, exactly. The time dash is an incredible tool for productivity.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
My cat couldn't manage to kill an ant this morning, so I have no hopes for her killing a mouse if I ever get one. She just kept playing with it--I had to swoop in with the kleenex and smoosh it after urging her for fifteen minutes to kill the damn thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, exactly. The time dash is an incredible tool for productivity.
And the DVR is totally its enemy. For me, anyway. Commercial time is a great time to do stuff!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It`s mildly shocking to me how little time it actually takes to do some of the tasks I loathe.
