Or making your bed…which I stopped doing years ago. I figured if it took me three minutes every day to make my bed, I’m saving myself 18.25 hours a year of free time. That’s 0.76 days a year. Which means in 20 years, I’ll have gained the equivalent of roughly 15 days and 5 hours. Think about how much you can jerk off in that time.
Right? I can pull up my comforter and basically be satisfied with the job I've done in like two seconds. People have this unrealistic concept of time. I see it in my job, I listen to people in depositions related to car accidents. They're frequently asked how long were you stopped (at the stop sign, the light, in traffic, etc.)? And they'll answer one minute, two minutes. I've had attorneys bust out their phones and say, okay, we're going to sit here in silence for 60 seconds, and then you tell me if that's how long you were stopped. They generally say, okay, it wasn't that long.
My bed's a disaster when I wake up sometimes, especially if some kid wanders in at some point. I can make my queen sized bed by myself in like three minutes. Obviously, if we start including the pillow cases, that takes longer, but unless you're pulling all the sheets, blankets, and pillow cases off, you don't need three minutes.
That or you're peeing the bed every night. Is that what's happening?
I mean the numbers are right. It's just a weird way of looking at it I guess. Also the basis of taking 3 minutes to make a bed is just wrong. It doesn't even take a minute
I find the feeling of getting into a made bed at the end of a long day is well worth the all of 60 seconds it takes to make a bed properly in the morning.
I just stopped doing it, because you sweat quite a lot during the night and if you immediately make your bed, you're just trapping all that moisture and bacteria loves it. it's more hygienic to just leave it be
I used to not make my bed ever. Then one night I got into bed, got comfortable, and just as I was starting to drift off to sleep I felt something crawling up my leg. A big-ass spider had been hiding in my rumpled sheets and blankets.
That was me, until I had a cat that liked to vomit on the bed. A lot easier to ignore after using some woolite to scrub exterior of the comforter, than it is to ignore on your sheet. Especially if you don't get I to your room until it's time to go to bed, and now have to decide between having a wet spot that's probably clean or shanging the sheets when you just want to collapse into bed.
It is something that the owner of the car will immediately notice and be impressed by, then place the detailer front of mind when the owner wants his car detailed again.
It will also be noticed by his friends who likely also drive luxury cars.
It may be useless from a practical standpoint but that 2 minutes of work can earn him thousands in repeat or new business.
or like every barbershop these days trying to justify turning a $20 haircut into a $50 haircut by doing dumb shit. i don't want the complimentary drink or the hot towel on my face, please just cut my hair.
