I’ve recently been taking on a new strategy to help me get the annoying little mundane tasks of life done. You know the things: doing laundry, going to the doctor, working out, packing a lunch for work. It’s a technique I’m trying to help with the sorts of things that help make a smoother life over all. So what am I doing?

I’ve mentioned it previously but it’s viewing the future me as someone else, as a dear friend that I want to help. Future me has had a rough day when she gets home from work tomorrow so why don’t I make dinner tonight so she leftovers? Future me needs some clean clothing to wear to work so let’s get the laundry done.

It’s been a little weird and sometimes trippy to think about myself as someone else but by doing that, it lets me see the help that this little task would accomplish.
