The last few days I have let the laundry pile up. Usually I am on top of it.
Why? You say that discipline is the foundation of character. If you don’t wash laundry then you are lazy and a terrible person.
Perhaps I am a terrible person for letting the laundry go. I am doing laundry now and I will get it done in a few hours.
In life you have to experiment with not only what you believe, but how you do things.
For example, one of the reasons I didn’t do laundry is that with the sun in the window even with two shades it is 84 degrees. I put on a summer shirt just now because I was too hot.
When laundry is being done, it heats up the apartment even more. I didn’t want to deal with the heat and I was hot. Now that I felt cooler with the cooler shirt, I was open to doing laundry.
We only have so much brain capacity each day. We have to focus on what is the most important and laundry was not the most important thing in my life the last few days.
No I am not sharing that I am having problems, just that laundry didn’t inspire me to do it. However today when I didn’t have any shorts to wear, that inspired me to do laundry.
It is funny how often inconvenience is the reason that we are compelled to act. I think we are lazy monkeys at heart.
