I couldn't agree more OP. I start by cycling to work, higher above sea level than my home, which I hate doing. At the end of the day I'm just rolling downhill. The other way around it would be fucked.

Okay, thank you very much.
And no, I don't just sound like I was surronded by people that did this for me, I am surrounded by people that have been doing this jobs for me and brushed me off whenever I try asking how to do it so I can do it myself as well.
The only thing I'm good at is art and repairing things and that is a really, truly embarassing thing to admit.

I think a good place to start would be to read a lot of labels.
Look at the labels on the cleaners. Dish detergent for hand washing will say that's what it's for and the stuff for the dish WASHER will say that's what it's for. Sometimes the pictures on the labels will be a good clue.
Getting windows clean can be difficult, and how to deal with water spots would depend on what type of surface they're on.
If you're in the USA and you're over 18, and feel you're being held back, there are agencies for helping you gain more independence without interfering with your family a lot.

Small town vs. big city.
In my small town, people would leave their front doors unlocked. With huge urban growth and rise in crime -- not anymore.

I swap between pillows as my neck gets stubborn and wants something new. Somehow swapping helps me, its weird. Fortunately I've found the two styles that work.

There's 3 different dish soaps, honestly. I'm french too, so I guess I'll read the instructions even though my mother says not to because I should just guess.
I'm not trolling you, I'm genuiely that useless. :/

This is what I tell my 8yo son ALL THE TIME! He's learning piano now, so that he's ready for drums or bass guitar later on.

That actually requires prearranging as well . By law all deceased have to come into the care of a county medical examiner and licensed mortician .

You use dish soap to wash dishes (dawn is the main brand) , you use furniture polish (pledge is a common brand) to make wood shine
where are the water spots?
Im starting to think you are just trolling us

No that is just total counter sales. If I hit my monthly goal of 15k I would receive around $.50-.90 cents more per hour worked.

Reply to LPT Request: How to spend less time talking about myself or my own personal stories to people in awkward social settings? by Apondfrog
If you are child bearing age or older, ask the discussion partner about their family. EVERYBODY wants to talk about their kids. It’s a way to really break the ice.

as someone with unmedicated ADHD, this is huge, also the 2% rule or w/e they call it, if its a bigger project, just do 2% of it;
need to take out the dishes? just take out 1 or 2 plates.
this usually triggers ur brain into "ah what the heck im already here" and u just do the rest, IF NOT then atleast u got something done , and it makes it alittle bit easier the next time around.

I would like to add I applied to Walmart way before orielly so I haven’t just wondered off looking for another job. Just happened to get that opportunity after going with orielly. But thanks a lot for your advice. I may also stay as the discounts I receive at orielly are awesome. Just the other day I bought some spark plug wires for $50 instead of $100 I would have payed as retail customer.

Costco Kirkland brand trash bags don't need this, they have the sturdy flexi bags that are less expensive than most other brands and don't leak at all, ever.

There's a book about this, called Eat the Frog.
The thesis is to do the hardest things early, which makes the medium things less hard and the easy things can still get done.

CLR is pretty strong stuff, too strong for many applications.
I 2nd googling stuff, there's a plethora of cleaning videos.
