Life hacks?  

Who comes up with this terminology?  Sorry folks.  Kinda cranky. Should have engaged in some affect labeling.  Been a long, productive day.  We won! And I just sat down. 

Not sure if my offerings actually fit the definition of a hack. That is sort of French to me.  Well, if that is the case, then hack would be “pirater”.  Argh.  Wasn’t expecting that mateys. I can be such a treasure sometimes.  Now where did I put my distraction dump….

These are about as close as I get to hacking. A handful or maybe one and a half, if you want to call them that, in no particular order.  Really hoped I could work “looks maxxing” into this.  Alas, the closest I came was “look, Maxine. ” 

How the brain dump turned out?

Make the bed.

Put your shoes away. 

Hang up your coat.

Fold the laundry.

Leave it better than how you found it.

Open it? Close it. 

Make a mess? Clean it up. 

Turn it on? Turn it off. 

Empty it?  Refill it. (closest I come to being a content creator.)

Use it up? Replace it. 

Wash the dishes. 

All those tiny bits of self-discipline enable me to make the most of each day.  And their off-spring, how I combine similar tasks so I can be one and done, makes things move even quicker.  

Add to that the instant gratification?  And on to cooler things? 

Makes this stoic crack a smile.  

Not “cheese”. 

“Money.”
