Inconsistency With Habits? Start With the Hard Stuff First

Hello Sebastian! How are you? :)

So I decided to follow your advice on time tracking and made a template for myself:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Woke up at: Hygiene (Brushed, Cleaned, Shaved): Early Maintenance (Mail, News, Facebook, Forums, Work):

---------------------------

If your mind is scattered, try cleaning

When I was younger, I didn't care much about order. Didn't care if my bed was made, if the dishes were done, things like that.

Partially, I guess, it's a normal thing for a kid to not care about those things. Also, my parents are very clean and orderly people, and I've heard a lot of times generations switch patterns between generation - one generation will be into order, the next will find it oppressive and be messy, the one after that will find the messiness awful and tend to be much more orderly, etc, etc.

I don't know if that's true - I haven't seen any studies on it. Sounds reasonable, though.

So yeah, when I was younger, I didn't care. I wanted to read my books and play Chess at the cafe or do interesting things, and cleaning seemed like it didn't fit the bill. I figured I thrived well enough in chaos, and I'd rather have a chaotic environment and more time to myself.

I'm not exactly sure when that changed, but I've done a 180 on it.
