You get a lot done in this time. More than at any other time when you try to clean up your house, right?

Why not make a habit out of it? Start a 10-minute timer and clean up as much as you can in this time. Repeat this every day.

For me, this sounds like a good idea, and I will try it out. You could also do it as a challenge with the family. Who can clean up the most?

If you also applied the Rule of 2, this 10-minute sprint should be even simpler. 🤔

But over the years it disappeared, and I no longer adhered to that rule. Now that everything is messy again, I was reminded of the rule once more. Rule of 2. Pick up two things every time you enter a room, leave your car, etc. This is such a helpful rule. And I need to get used to it again. Every place can benefit from it; the same is true for coding. Here I try to clean up a file; I update code in it. But this has limits. If the code changes I need to make will create a massive PR just to complete the feature, I try to focus only on the feature. Just to make the work not harder for every reviewer. --- 39 of #100DaysToOffload #log #cleanup #habit Thoughts? a href="https://remark.as/p/barfooz.xyz/rule-of-2"Discuss.../a]]> I've recently reestablished an old rule I had used for a while to keep my place clean.
