What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier? (lemm.ee)

For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they're much easier to grab.

Whenever there is a small task that will take less than a few minutes, I ask myself "When else are you going to have 80 seconds?" and usually that makes me realize I should just get it done now. Sometimes I still say "tomorrow" and reminds me to pick a specific time to do the task.

I get this advice, but I hate this advice. I have a million things to do that take just a couple minutes. I never know when to stop!

That's just it - getting started is the hurdle.

My rule of thumb for this is once I've begun cleaning in preparation for the other 4 ideas I have buzzing around, I write those down, finish one task and call it from there (this is usually after 2 to 5 mini-tasks that ends up with cleaning)
