Most of us hates mundane chores like ironing ...food prep..vacuuming ..paperwork..what do you to amuse yourself whilst doing these chores?
I'm at work today trying to catch up..with the mindless task of stocking up baskets with tablets so that our techs can pack Webster packs for our clients..reviewing baskets takes 5-10 minutes each..go through to make sure that they've got about a month's worth of each drug..put scripts through if not ..if no script owe the script to their doctor ..grab the stock and stick a label on..if no stock order it in..leave label for item in their basket until stock arrives..general tidying up of their script folder..discard any out of date scripts..any tablets not current get bundled up in a bag..
about 55-60 to do every week..1 per each client..which I tend to do ad havoc..after hours..a few hours here and there..as I get sleepy after a few hours from staring at the screen..
I haven't managed to catch up since Christmas lol trying to be up to date or ahead so can have a break for Easter..
Go on Houzz or surf the net
Put a movie on to watch
Turn the radio on
Multi task by doing a few chores at once to break the monotony
Other..please comment..

Boring taupe kitchen - how to spice it up? (Photo in Comments)
Comments (6)Practical functional easy to clean kitchen ... I would bring colour & style in with things like bar stools & kitchen appliances ... It looks as though it connects into a living area ... That is where you can bring in your personality ... Great space along the top where clock is ... Again another space to colour with your style with art work ... If you have a free wall add in a kitchen type piece of furniture, that has open shelving... I think it is quite neutral & easy to inject personality without major changes to what is there....See MoreHow do you get to sleep?
Comments (10)I am well educated in sleep science & assess sleep as part of mental health assessments. Good on you Vy (2017) re CCI www. I usually find people want to tell me lots about their poor sleep. After I have learned about their mental, physical health & lifestyle I offer advice to improve their sleep IF they want to know. Mixed results. Why? It is rare that people want to address their lifestyle, not least alcohol use. Most assume there is a pill available. I am not a prescriber so I don't have to enter that discussion. Why am I writing about this in Houzz? Bedroom design. Bedrooms are only for sleep, intimacy changing your clothes. Thus keep them plain, simple & DARK. Stop making them full of all the light you can get (small windows please for ventilation & easily darkened at night). Bedrooms are not for entertainment including all forms of media (Yes sleep apps are great) & family parties. Blue light in the 60 mins before sleep reduces melatonin by 50% speeding up dementia, cancer depression, anxiety, etc . Huge rooms are a waste of money since they only for 8 hours of sleep, at night, in the dark. The best news of all: increase anti-carcinogen, & reduce dementia onset activities, that only happen at NIGHT, in the DARK when you are ASLEEP for 8 hours. Sorry shift workers. Learn about this....See MoreDeal or no deal
Comments (31)That's right Julie, I've been searching the area for over a year, and they are very difficult to find in my budget. It's quite a small little place where I'm looking and they don't stay on the market for long. I have considered a little further from the beach, but can't seem to sacrifice the location....See MorePOLL: How do you keep your home cool in summer?
Comments (29)Further to some previous comments I’ve made over the past few years on various subject matters ; anyone that would like some further detailed information on the subject on sun control window insulation films as an option to consider for improving both heat loss and heat gains through windows ( also referred too as window tinting and / or glass tinting ) , including glass security /glare control / fade protection and decorative glass treatments etc can check out some articles I had printed in the “ The Owner Builder “ magazine no’s 180 & 181 ( Dec-Feb 2013-2914 editions ) It may help those understand a little better the product for those having various issues, such as this present subject matter on cooling methods , in this comment section . As others have mentioned, one product may not solve all their particular problem/s and quite often more than one product / solution may often be required to obtain a better outcome . I’ve found a lot of problems start initially with overall buildings design , orientation and the amount of glass / windows used and their sizes /design and type / amount of insulation used overall . Having been in the window tinting industry for about 38 years now and covering both domestic and commercial buildings , I’ve noticed how the weather patterns changed to an extent that the solutions/ products that may have been available / used some 30 odd years ago ; now have new and updated products / solutions on offer . One can email me for further advice to clarify some issues . Although I’m a Tasmanian based business, I’ve lived and worked all around Australia and spent over 5-1/2 years in north Qld so do have some experience living in different climates ....See More
