Dishwashing gloves

It’s one of those small inexpensive changes with big impact. I know it gives 1950s housewife but hear me out. Pros: - you can use the hottest possible water - keeps you from getting premature hand wrinkles - The lack of sensory input to your hands (water, soap, sponge, gross wet food) allows you to energetically and emotionally separate yourself from the task while you daydream, listen to a podcast, or watch something on a nearby screen. - after you’re done you take them off and it’s like you were never even there. The only evidence is a pile of clean dishes. - the threshold for how many dishes you can stand to do increases exponentially, you feel unstoppable. Maybe you shouldn’t take the gloves off yet, maybe you can also wipe down the counters…maybe also take out the garbage…unclog the shower drain. Before you know it you’ve deep cleaned your home. your hands remain obliviously soft and dry. Cons: - they tear sometimes and you gotta replace them I get the extra long ones so water for sure doesn’t get inside

Scrubby Gloves

I’ve been using scrubby gloves on every inch of my body for last 25 years, ever since independent curator Astria Supark said “they’re really good for getting into all the nooks and crannies.” For only a few bucks you can be completely smooth and polished at all times. Before taking them off I like to say, “Hey everybody, it’s me, Mickey Mouse!” in a special mouse voice, which some people thought was funny the first few times. (Because Mickey Mouse also wears gloves.)

eating constantly

Don’t let the doctors and intermittent fasters tell you otherwise. Food is energy and it makes you strong and helps you concentrate and be happy. Don’t let that blood sugar dip down. Hold the line.

Dot’s seasoned pretzels

Dot has me under her spell, under her thumb, under her boot. I never stood a chance against that single-origin Japanese MSG.

Shorter books

Try reading essay collections or autofiction. It feels more similar to something you’d read online. Also don’t just look up “best books” and stick yourself with something challenging right off the bat. Read something exciting and fun: Steven King, Ira Levin, basically the types of books that get turned into movies.
