A marriage therapist gave us this tip.

Make a list of all the things that need to be done. Divide them into: Daily, weekly, monthly, etc. Then seperately (so the other cant see) write down how much this being done matters to you (scale of 1-10).

The person it matters to more gets ownership of that chore. You are more willing to do it if it matters to you. If the ownership list for each category is super lopsided review for chore time, difficulty, etc and try to make it fair. IE: mowing the lawn takes more time and effort that sweeping the kitchen, wiping the counters and unloading rhe dishwasher combined.

Then you each commit to own the stuff on your list, in the timefram alloted (daily, weekly, monthly, etc) and you dont do the other persona chorea or nag them as long as its getting done on time.

Implimenting this was great for communication, compromise and setting clear boundaries and expectations. Saved a ton of arguments and resentment.

This. My wife and I long ago settled into a cadence and area of expertise. I’m the kitchen cook and dish washer, garbage taker outer, cat box cleaner and laundry doer (but not folder) and she’s the floors, bathrooms and green thumb. Occasionally she rage cleans and I GTFO.

I like this suggestion. See if your coworkers says that they misspoke and then you and the coworker go tell your boss that it was actually your idea to set the record straight. If they don't own up...I'd just go talk to your boss one on one and let them know what happened.

I clean houses for a living so, at my own place, I choose #1. It does take me all day but it’s great when its done!

Invite friends and family to stay over more often. My wife and I clean like crazy when we know we have house guests coming over.

Cleaning people are there to clean, not pick up first, unless that is in the agreement.

Hey don’t pick on my hiking shoes

But that’s not nonsense. The majority of people are dehydrated. Drinking an adequate amount of water really does help with a lot of things physically and mentally.

Its annoying at first but if you think about how much this makes your wife happy and loved then it gets much less annoying. Then you get used to it and you realize that your wife was right.

I was gonna say it's probably because I don't buy much in the way of fast fashion garbage.

>for the 2nd knot with loops do the opposite

I was depressingly far along in life before I knew about this. Like OP, I essentially didn't know how to tie my shoelaces, and didn't know that I didn't know.

Here's a web site entirely about this topic: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/grannyknot.htm

It can work with retailers that do a lot of active promo codes anyway (e.g. shoe shopping from the shoe brand’s website) but this advice is mostly null on larger retailer websites.

Also I'm not sure how true it is. I leave stuff in carts all the time and I don't recall seeing any promotion from those companies.

Tuck the loops under one of the other crossed laces. Been working for me for more than forty years.

I swear, it's here every day. Get out..

Likewise bookstores. Clean and sturdy (built to hold books!) and, depending on the bookstore, often in a few standard sizes. Barnes & Noble in our town happily gives away as many as people want, already flattened for easy transport; a friend got about a hundred for his move. Call ahead to make sure they still have some on hand that day before you stop by.

don’t think you can do this on an per-app basis on iOS.

I’ll help!

When cooking I like to clean up while the food is cooking. Whether it’s between flips on the pan or if something is in the oven. You can get a lot done during that time that would otherwise be wasted.

Yes it was a joke but also it is a form of intermittent fasting. I stopped having nightmares when I cut out dinner.

A lot of what I have learned about mycology and chemistry came from wiki. (Learning on my own time)
