Things I procrastinate doing part one - Laundry

I pretend I'm not a procrastinator. I present myself as a capable organized person to the outside world. My car is clean and never filled with unnecessary objects. I don't look unkempt or wear dirty clothes (at least not VISIBLY dirty). I like to think that I present the illusion of a very normal, responsible adult.

It is all a lie. I'm horrible messy. My room is a wreck. There is probably 2 square feet of visible floor in my entire room. The rest is covered by dirty towels, random clothing, shopping bags, and empty cardboard boxes that for some reason or another I feel the need to hold on to. I don't know why I'm incapable of controlling this one part of my life. I really do not like clutter. It makes me uncomfortable but for some reason or another I am incapable of keeping my room clean.

I always wait till the last minute to do laundry. I will literally be waiting by the dryer wrapped in a towel so that I can have clean underwear to put on before I go to work. I'm a firm believer that the cleanliness of clothing is not determined by the fact that I've worn it once already but by whether or not it can pass the sniff test. In case you are not a slob like me and are unfamiliar with the sniff test, here is a flow chart I made demonstrating how to properly perform the sniff test.


Pretty handy, huh? If I were you I'd print this out and post it in your room. The job interview box represents any important event that you may be going to such as going on a date or a big meeting at work. As long as the event meets the standard of you NOT smelling when you are going to it, then it can be substituted in. It is important to note that going to school/class does not qualify for the substitution rule. I'm not saying that school is not important, it is very important. Smelling good when you go to school is not important. Besides there will always be someone there who smells worse then you, trust me. If you are following this flow chart properly there is no way you will be the stinkiest person there, so you don't need to worry.

Following this flow chart really frees up your schedule. You're going to love all the time you'll save by following it.
