I've often written about how grateful I am for the technology that prevents me from hand-washing all of my clothes. But even though the washer and dryer do the brunt of the work, I have gotten into a horrendous habit of leaving clothes folded in the hamper for too long (or, worse, leaving them in the dryer). It's easy to multitask during a wash or dry cycle, but only if you actually finish the task.
Tired of digging through a hamper for clean socks, I've decided that I simply won't do laundry until I have enough time to put everything away. So far, it's working. On some laundry days, I've even resorted to skipping the laundry basket altogether in favor of running the garments and towels right back to the drawers from which they came.
I have some nerve not vacuuming my floors more often when there's a Roomba just waiting on its charging cradle in the corner. Yeah, it doesn't make much sense to me, either. Why would I push around an upright vacuum when I have a device willing to do the work for me?
Perhaps it's because I feel more control over a regular vacuum; I tend to "supervise" the Roomba to see that it doesn't get stuck under furniture, which can lead to frustration and ultimately a reluctance to use it.
