[Lokkie's diary]: about simplification in my life

Hello everybody. The problem of lack of time I experienced a long time.

So much good and interesting in this life and so little time. It was necessary to prioritize and optimize. Now for this there is a fashionable word - time management.

Where does the childhood go by a housewife every day?

• Sleeping
• Walking with children
• Cooking
• Daily cleaning
• Reading technical literature
• Food intake
• Take-bring the children from educational institutions
• Gym
• Communication with the husband
• Social networks (Steemit, Golos)
• Hygienics
• Shopping trips
• Control of children (house, clothing, hygiene, pedagogical conversations, etc.)
• Washing-drying-ironing
• Beauty guidance (make-up, selection of clothes)

Plus, there are a lot of non-daily business that replace each other. A few days ago I finished a quest called "Collect autographs of all specialized doctors" for a first-grade son. To be honest, there was a desire to celebrate it with a bottle of champagne. But I'm an athlete, I shouldnt :))

The day is not endless, so I decided to cut the chronobudget to some points. The beginning with the simplest: the guidance of beauty and cooking.

2 pencils and lipstick

Makeup, in its essence, is a deception. Women paint their faces in order to attract the attention of surrounding men. Basically. All these slogans like "I paint for myself" are really only slogans.

I read somewhere about an experiment in which people lived in isolation from the outside world. In the beginning they behaved as usual: they cleaned their teeth, they made the bed, men shaved, women applied makeup. After a long time they declined all these rituals, their behavior slipped to the satisfaction of natural needs.

I have already completed my biological program, therefore I decided to give up women's trinkets. No, on occasion, of course, I can put on heels and make up. For example, for a photo session:

But the photo session happens once a year, but if I save 15 minutes a day, I get: 15 * 350/60 = 87.5 hours per year of free time (15 days a year for various festive events).

A system used at a long distance does work. A daily candy (50 kcal) will bring you 50 * 365 = 18,250 kcal per year. The cake, eaten in one meal intake, will give approximately 5,000 kcal. This is not a call to action, but info to thinking.

In short, the imposition of daily make-up I shortened somewhere about two minutes, clothes - pofigstyle, look like this:

Nothing outstanding, but in the mirror is not disgusting to look at. O - Optimization.

Feed me, feed me

Do you know what I like most in restaurants? No, not the sophistication of the dishes and not the luxurious interior. Dishes of restaurant level I can prepare by ownself.

Most of all I'm happy that you do not need to cook and do not have to clean. Even a herring with boiled potatoes cooked and served not by my hands, I am much more pleased than Caesar salad and lasagna with Bolognese sauce, over which I had to work myself.

OMG, if someone took me to feed, I would even agree to be raw-eater. And so - with equal effort, I, of course, tastes better than buckwheat)))

By the way, about buckwheat. I optimized the preparation of everyday food as follows: I cook several side dishes (pea, buckwheat, oatmeal, pasta), boil frozen vegetables, beans, eggs, meat, pre-cut the greens. Mixed arbitrarily, added a slicing of fresh vegetables and fruits, sprinkled with oil -> a full meal is ready.

Optimization of other items on the list is in the queue. Some things I can not sacrifice - for example, sleep, time given to children, or technical literature, but other routine activities can and should be adjusted.

Everything should be simplified as long as possible, but no more.
