putting things back where they belong before you leave rather than leaving it for when you come back

this is a recent trick i’ve adopted, and it’s made it so much easier to keep things organized. which makes my brain feel lighter. probably has something to do with the fact that if you’ve put cleaning off once, you’re more likely to again. also it’s just disrupting to come home to a messy room. so welcoming when clean! (huge fan of the word girlsqualor tho)

lately i’ve been rocking with physical to-do lists & doing a 5 minute full house tidy before dinner time & it feels gooood

5 minutes works for my two bed apartment, if you have a big house idk give it 10? & i’m just talkin like, put ur shoes away, hang up a coat, etc. this is not a deep dive. even better if you put “tidy” on your to-do list so you can check it off, cha-ching!

picking things up that i drop or see on the ground instead of being a lazy oaf

it's really easy to be lazy and let something like a parsley leaf fall on the kitchen floor when I'm cooking and just ignore it. same goes for a tiny piece of foil if i'm opening some annoying package. but if you just take that spare millisecond to fucking crouch down and pick the damn thing up, you are just that much better for it. don't have to deal with it later, don't have to annoy your housemates or partner, and you're just being proactive about something even if very tiny. the cumulative effect has a really positive outcome and it gets easier as you go.

putting library books on hold

go to your local library‘s website or download the app. then search for a book you really want to read. then put it on hold. it feels like online shopping but it’s free. in a few days or weeks you'll get a cute text message or email that your book is ready to pick up and you’ll get to say hello to your local librarians and procure a new (to you) book which also feels like free shopping. the most functional part of our government ily public libraries

read what you want to read

i usually find myself in reading ruts when i’m taking classes and being assigned books or when i’m trying to keep up with new releases and the “smart” books that are usually dense and long. i can usually get myself out of this rut by picking out a book that looks fun to me, like a book set on a beach or something I loved in middle school. I’m reading From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler right now and it’s just FUN!!! I also am very much not someone who feels like they have to finish a book. Life is too short. I think that helps!
