Nevertheless, I go through life with the persistent unconscious belief that if I buy products-for-organizing I will become organized. :p


In a similar way, buying exercise equipment gets you in shape.


If you buy enough equipment then the act of carrying the equipment inside will get you in shape.

Just like my bogo sort. It’ll get there eventually.


The most exercise I’ve ever had is solo assembling a 295 pound Rogue Fitness Monster Lite power rack and raising it from the horizontal position I assembled it in to the vertical position.

I figured after that much effort I needn’t exercise ever again. I sold it the next week at a loss (cheapest hobby I’ve ever had). Although to be fair I didn’t realize at the time that I needed to buy the barbell and weights too. Lesson learned: stick to the monthly gym membership that I will never use.

The second most exercise I’ve ever had is solo raising my Grizzly 14” bandsaw to standing. Also never used, but at least I never had the heart to sell it.


That's the thing: you have to disassembly your gym equipment after you finish assembling it. Make sure you keep a set of boxes to put it back on.


And buying books makes you smart and knowledgable. It’s all so easy!
