Today...

I was previously a dishwasher by profession so 10 minutes worth of home dishes that I got to eat with beats 12 hours of dishes from other people any day.

 

But I know some people hate it. Like ring said, you gotta add consequences. Maybe when you order out take a screen shot of your receipt total and look at how much money you're wasting on takeout every month instead of A few dollars for a good sponge and some soap.

 

I'm guessing you don't have a dishwasher...

I've also seen it where people are too lazy to load and unload a dishwasher which is insane to me. At that point probably best to reward yourself until it just becomes something you want to do, like a Pavlovian dog. I used to hate doing laundry but then it came to be beer time. Load the machine? Have a beer. Unload and fold the clothes? Another beer. Now I can do it without the beer.

I do have a dishwasher, but listen, it's not laziness. I'm not sitting around doing nothing productive trying to avoid work. I'm getting shit done every night, just sometimes I run into a wall that I can't move past for individual tasks.

[Ring_World 753]

What is your thoughts on those tasks in the moment.

 

Like when your hungry and no dishes. What goes wrong on the 'well its dish time'.

 

Is your thought an 'I'll get to it later'

 

Or something else perhaps?

 

 

 

But I guess my post is how I'd handle a 'I'm so overwhelmed idk where to begin' that keeps popping up

Agreed with decreasing the amount of dishes you have. Also cleaning your dishes right after a meal is also a great thing... although I can understand why it can't happen all the time.

I threw out all my dishes and just used paper plates/bowls and plastic silverware when I was in my early 20s because I hated doing dishes and my apartment didn’t have a dishwasher.

 

Otherwise, action precedes motivation. Set a timer for 1 minute, tell yourself you only have to do the dishes for 1 minute, then you can stop when the timer goes off. Usually when the timer goes off you’ll keep performing the task

I think I'm ready to pronounce these forums dead

[Dax 175]

It's been real, TIF.

[Ring_World 753]

might be dead for reals this time but I have seen it die in here for longer than this current downtime

[RpgGamer 1087]

This new UI makes me uncomfortable 

[Tesset 444]

Yeah, it's more than a little jarring.

I have to log in with my email now instead of my username. Rip to the last vestige of Who Am I as my internet username. You were a good first try, alas that too many others had the same idea and ruined my ability to ever get it

Unfortunately this is what happens when we go about 6 years without upgrades, they all come at once instead of gradually. The old version was no longer maintainable. 😕

You can login with your username but you would need to login with Tesset as your old login name no longer exists. Display names and login names were merged to be display names only. You can of course take that as your display name if it's available.

Holy, not sure what's more surprising. The new forum design or the random admin who just appeared.

Just because you don't see me doesn't mean I'm not here. If I wasn't here the forums and site both wouldn't be either.

Is this your Last Air Bender arc where you reappear to defend us from the Fire Nation (porn bots/passport phish) a few years too late?

 

But it's good to see a friendly name in red again. 

 

And finally we have someone to give credit to for keeping these forums on the grid. Cheers to that

@mystery admin - make rpg a mod. Ty

[Tesset 444]

Thank you for taking care of things, Mage, it's really appreciated, even if there's not many of us still around.

Ha - not quite, I never was much of a moderator, that's what @Cowman_133 is here for. I just keep (most) things functional. That being said, the upgrades have provided some additional anti-spam measures which should hopefully help a bit.

We'll see.

All good, the previous outages were due to non-payment of the bill (beyond my control) - that won't be happening any more. Outages will only be due to some kind of hardware or network failure, not counting me messing up a configuration somewhere. 😐 Both the forum and site have been moved to new servers and updated to facilitate that move.

[Ember 191]

Holy hell, you're still kicking? I mean, not that I'm complaining. 😅

How goes?
