Do not try to memorize your shopping list, that is a trap. There are too many distractions in the store and you will not think of the thing you need most

I've gone specifically for milk, one item lists are pretty easy to memorize. The problem is coming back home with only one item.

I have ended up with a bag of food and no milk and had to go back.

I have to list, even for one item.

100% this, my wife makes a menu for the week on Monday then creates a list from that in Apple Reminders that I use to shop from. She knows if it isn’t on the list it isn't going to be in the bag I bring home. Even hand writing a list is better than trying to memorize one, anything to take that mental load off in a place designed to make you over buy on stuff you don’t need will help.

Who the fuck uses a memorized list in the era of smart phones?

I have lists of lists!

On a pragmatic note: Anylist is a cross platform app (Web, Windows, iOS, Android) that syncs instantly.

Me, about once a month. "It's only 3 things, not worth writing down, I've got this"

I also use Anylist, its great for my partner and i to both add things to. I have added custom categories and named them after each aisle name and what items are there for my regular grocery store. So as i work down the list i am moving along the store and there is very minimal backtracking or going down aisles i dont need to. It has both streamlined my grocery shopping and also cut down on impulse buying crap.

I actually like doing laundry as long as I can listen to a podcast while doing it, it’s the perfect amount of stimulation for my brain to not completely wander off.

I like loading the machine and letting it do its job.

I loathe unloading and folding and putting shit away neatly.

C actually gets done pretty often because I'd starve otherwise. Also, no car means I can only buy as much food at once as I can carry back home.

I managed to make myself a nice breakfast. As a reward I took a moderate amount of LSD and am about to indulge in some weed.

I'll take the mail. 50/50 shot I can address it now and toss it. All others are impossible.

This is reminding me - I need to pay the bill from my psychiatrist. But they're closed right now... Can someone repost this tomorrow during business hours, maybe I'll see it then?

You wrote "task" but you meant "torture technique", right?

It's one of those "tasks" that's actually a dozen smaller tasks in a trenchcoat and also they're having an orgy in there and occasionally pop out new baby tasks that grow at an alarming rate.

I'll take the mail. We hardly ever get any, I always enjoy it when we have some items in the mail to sort.

Whenever I think about not having checked the mail in a while, I get paranoid about possibly missing an important tax form or something. Like the letter will say, "Please reply by {some day a months ago}" and it's some important shit I forgot about. Makes me run to the box.

I can do all that perfectly well. Sitting still is tough but can do it when I meditate.

You have to take it out and put it on the drying rack too.
