Solving My Dishes Dilemma
Disclaimer: There will be many times reading this post where “responsible” and/or “mature” adults will not understand how this is an actual problem. Please note I am neither responsible nor mature, thus these are actual problems in my day-to-day life. I’ve added footnotes for any time I think a normal person will question, “How the hell is this a problem?”
I was looking around my apartment this afternoon with one thought in mind:
This place looks like shit!
It was a mess like it almost always is. I don’t think it has been consistently clean for more than two or three days since I had a girlfriend who came over a few nights a week. It needs to be dusted, vacuumed, scrubbed, and decluttered. Next thought:
That’s a lot of work. What could I do that would make a big difference but not require too much effort?
I take note of the dirty dishes piled up on the coffee table and my computer desk, as well as the big stacks next to the sink(1). Doing the dishes will definitely have a big impact on the overall appearance of the apartment. Plus dirty dishes are much less socially acceptable than dusty surfaces or floors in need of vacuuming. This is where the problem begins to take shape.
