I notice myself towards fellow human beings that I try to optimize simple everyday tasks. “They” mainly try to optimize certain events, by using Google Maps for the shortest route.
But I try to do this with numerous things, from filling up the dishwasher, to taking out the thrash, to (quite often to irritation to my SO), postponing things: to add things up and then to everything in one-efficient go.
Some of these moundaine tasks are “repeated” items with a reminder of a todo-app. Or by paying all bills every 2 weeks, instead of when they come in.
My wife (2 kids) cleans the house basically constantly. While when I’m alone, I just do it at the end of the day, cause it doesn’t matter to clean up multiple times the toys.
I buy things that don’t expire (like toothpaste) in bulk. While she buys them by one.
Do you guys/girls have similar instincts and events happening? It’s really not about non-chalance, but rather the strive to do things as efficiently as possible with as little effort as possible, while having the same good outcome.
