Advancements in Energy Conservation
Or, How to Get Stuff Done with a case of the Winter Lazies
(I am not Heloise Anything, so keep that in mind...)
Cooking Tip of the Day: Repurpose the lefties
If you've made a giant pot of soup and are sick of the leftovers, caserolify it. Blend the offending soup a bit with a stick blender until it's only partially chunky. Pour into a baking dish and top with a can of biscuits or a batch of Jiffy Mixscuits. Bake at 350-400 until the biscuity topping looks done. Voila, a new meal!
Cleaning Tip of the Day: Socksweeping
Get your feet in a pair of man-made-fiber socks, such as nylon or microfiber, that are always staticy this time of year. Dance around like a spaz on the hardwood floor for about 20 minutes, being sure to incorporate sliding and swooping for ultimate effectiveness. Throw the socks in the hamper when you're done to avoid retracking all the nonsense you've collected.
Note: This also doubles as a substitute for cardio gym activities.
Bonus points if you get your kids/pets/roomates/significant other to join.
ProducTVty Tip of the Day: Adopt a Handicraft
Take up knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch or any other hand-held art form where you can mindlessly follow a pattern are ideal. Gather your materials, hit the couch, and tune your tube to the viewing material of your choice. Watch your favorite shows, and watch your productivity percentage soar!
What are YOUR favorite ways to be sneakily lazy?
