One of my favorite mental activities is to think of ways that I can be more efficient in my everyday tasks. I'm not sure if this is normal or not (I'm thinking not...). Regardless, I find great pleasure in finding a new process that shaves a few seconds off of any routine.For example, my evening bathroom routine consists of seven steps (worst case):
- Remove contacts
- Wash off makeup
- Apply toner
- Apply moisturizer
- Brush teeth
- Floss
- Use mouthwash
I have devised a process that minimizes the time I have to spend on these activities, so I can get to a more enjoyable activity (read in bed!). Here it is:
After washing off makeup, rather than moving on to apply toner, I brush my teeth, floss, and then while I'm swooshing mouthwash around in my mouth for 60 seconds, I apply toner and moisturizer.
I know! Groundbreaking, isn't it? I mean, over the course of my life (assuming I live to 90, which I plan to do) I will save 167 hours by using this process. That is not a trivial amount of time. Everyday efficiency rocks!
This one's for you, Katie. :)

Brushing and flossing?
Every day?
I think I can see how you can get a few more days of your life back! Let's talk.

Oh, I thought that was required!! Right, only for the teeth you want to keep. :)
