idk if these are weird, but plan to do only 10 minutes of a task...you usually will do more than that
And if you're low on energy, clean it in small chunks, so maybe just clean the kitchen and then tomorrow the living room ect.

for me it helps to do those kind of things whenever its convenient for me even when thats weird for ppl

whenever i wake up im most productive so then i do a chore first instead of getting dressed first or having breakfast first yk.. or like, clean the shower when im showering instead of planning in a moment to do it

i first bought a cheap headset for 50 euro that claimed to have noise cancelling but didnt
and after that one broke (in just 3 years time ???) i bought a proper sennheiser headset and oh my god, i enevr wanna go back?? the noise cancelling is soooo nice. not hearing the traffic when i walk by a busy street. truly so much better. and this time it hopefully will last longer too lol

felttt, went cheap but now i know once these say goodnight (and i agree, esp when they're expensive they should last longer than cheap!)

i got insurance for my new ones (incl water damages) for two years so i hope they act up BEFORE 2 years if not they can wait at least 5

fight back omg perfectly said lmfao, the good ones really love being difficult to work with
my bed is "built in" in my apt, inside the tiny part of the room so it's like a little cave. incredible for me since i like being kinda locked in tiny spaces but fuck i wish i could walk around the bed instead of doing yoga positions to reach the other side
