Weekly Goals

The Goal:
To be a productive, organized human being.
Do the laundry.

The Reality:
I have spent the last week treating my hamper like a suggestion and my dresser like a buffet.

​My strategy was simple:
ignore the pile, put on fresh clothes, and keep writing. I was basically performing a slow-motion magic trick where my floor disappeared under a layer of denim and cotton.

​But here is the twist (and the pun):
While sitting down to write this goal post, I actually hit a milestone. The cycle has been broken. The laundry is officially in the washer as we speak.
​It turns out that the best way to get me to do chores is to make me sit down to write about how I haven’t done them.

I’d like to say I planned this level of productivity, but let’s be real: I’m a total joker in reality. I probably only started the washer so I’d have a valid excuse to get up from the desk for ten minutes.
​But hey, the clothes are sudsy, the words are down, and the punchline landed. I’ll take the win where I can find it.
