Here's something I did recently to make my morning routine go faster and better. I labeled everything I need to do to get ready for work in the bathroom with a number. It helps me remember to do things I kept forgetting to do before: things like apply Rogaine :'( and take Resveratrol -- and it also has shortened the amount of time I take to get ready.
My friends joke that I'm OCD, but I argue that an OCD person wouldn't need the labels to nail down a routine. :)
I got rid of all my socks that I had bought over the years and bought 24 pairs of the same socks. Now I just grab any two socks and am guaranteed a match.
Yes! Socks are definitely best dealt with in batches. I keep two kinds (white athletic and black dress). When one sort is looking raggedy (or the count has fallen below the minimum) I ditch all of that kind and replace them.
This has made me especially happy with dress socks. If you buy them at different times, then they are each a subtly different shade of black, which made me insane whenever I tried to match them.
