    “if life is an endless cycle of dirty dishes and doing laundry, then life is an endless cycle of homecooked meals and clean clothing”

          I love music and can just listen to music without doing anything, but then I feel guilty for not doing anything with the rest of the body.

            Have you tried turning your brain into a black hole of emotions so guilt at being idle can never escape? Works for me some times!

        I’ve got a stack of those you can take: cleaning the chicken coop, that’s 2/3 of an ep of Midnight Burger or 2 Gibi ASMRs. Friend discount, just for you.

      Can also have a YouTube video, movie or TV show on the phone on the side.

      Although I would recommend spending the time on some mindfulness. There’s a lot to be said for being alone with your thoughts and every minute of the day doesn’t need distraction.

    I have never thought that in my adult life I’d relate to muggy from New Vegas this much.

    I actually don’t mind doing the dishes, don’t know why. I actually like it more than doing the dishwasher but it takes too long

    I Kind of dribbled this by using the same plate/knive for the week and then I only have to do dishes once a week. But I also usually only eat bread at home, since I usually eat lunch at university.

    I usually only do laundry every two weeks which isn’t that bad.

    That is a method which actually worked out, for years! Just now, with a child, I use a dishwasher.

    One big regret: As a single, I should have bought one of those tiny dishwashers that don’t need installing and can just be filled with water on top.
