  • Take a weekend to thoroughly clean your home. At the end, take a mental snapshot of each room and each surface.

    Going forward, at the end of each night before bed, reset each space back to that mental snapshot you have of how that space should look when it’s “clean”.

    Doing this every day ensures that mess never gets out of hand.

    Thinking of it as a “room reset” rather than cleaning” helps my perfectionism from jumping in and having me end up cleaning the baseboards every night.


  • Buy a small box (should be about the size of a cat; not too big and not too small) you can put in a place where you’ll see it frequently but it’s not in the way.

    This box is your “physical inbox”. Any clutter you find or anything in your space that is out of place or doesn’t have a good ‘home’ goes in this box.

    Once a week (or more often if you’d like), go through the inbox and resolve or find a new proper home for each item (even if get home is the trash).






  • Nebula is such a fun and weird little song - it’s one of my favorites as well.

    The thing about Incubus is you never really get the same band on any of those old albums. They continue to evolve and grow, experimenting with their sounds and concepts all the way.

    At least… up until 2009. After that things fall a bit flat. Most recently, the lead singer (and heartthrob) Brandon Boyd had some nasal issues come up and his voice fell off a fuckin cliff. Fortunately, he had corrective surgery and has mostly returned to his usual form.

    I just don’t think they’ll ever make interesting music again because I think they’ve lost that drive to risk and experiment. But that’s life: we have to appreciate the things we have instead of dwelling on the things we don’t have.
