If you’ve got time to ponder the futility of human existence you’ve got time to clean.
My ADHD brain can’t focus well on cleaning unless I get that weird hyperfocus on it. Last time I got it it lasted a couple days and I got a Lotta things done. It was nice.
Please tell us how to get there 🙏
Don’t clean for months
Ok now what
Ok now think of a clean house + an opportunity to discover once cherished treasures
Ah yes, turn the important but not urgent task into an important and urgent task ! But it’s a balancing act to keep it below the “overwhelming task feels impossible so let’s just ignore it” threshold
That’s one version of Camus’ “Image sisyphus happy”
Another interpretation is “Arbeit macht frei”.
Bruuuder, wtf
Heh Nazis
I remember this episode of Malcolm in the Middle
“Look! Blood on my knees!”
Ahh you will have a clean room! Win win!
Shitty life pro-tips
But it works 🙈
Living this rn
I think everyone is living this. You‘re not fucked because you live this but you have the brains to be aware of it.
And we live in a time and place where most of our base needs are easily met. Mind has far more time to ponder.
Compared to the middle ages, yes. But we‘re not better off than in the 60s I believe.
Middle class white people in America aren’t, but pretty much the entire rest of the world is.
Can you give an example for that? I‘d like to understand what you refer to.
The quality of life worldwide has steadily been increasing since industrialization.
The quality of life of middle class white Americans has remained pretty much unchanged since the end of the second world war.
Im not going to get examples, but that’s what my point was.
I‘m sorry but this is not correct. People used to live in one worker households and got by. The housing prices (only thing I could find) in the US has tripled since the sixties which is an increase of 7% pa.
GDPs are rising fast but wages are not keeping up. Here‘s a source for europe: https://www.ft.com/content/0a245c28-6cc3-11e9-80c7-60ee53e6681d
It’s not like poor white people are having ouwie now. The 1% are 10000%ing their income while the rest goes home empty.
Some of those wikihow are hilarious 😂
another trick is to making cleaning actually fun by challenging yourself… try it blindfolded, or with one hand, etc.
Music helps a lot
And weed.
Does it? I usually forget to clean after smoking weed and get distracted by other activities
Nah. Speed
My “trick” is to put it off until I can’t bear the mess anymore and then it actually feels like I’m getting something done and I’m doing it because I want to as opposed to it being a pointless chore
