Hey, it's OK. . .

. . . to leave your laundry in a basket and wear things directly from said basket until your next laundry day. I know we have drawers and hangers for a reason- but sometimes I don't find it necessary to put every little thing away. there are certain clothes i wear alot. . . and after i wash them, i know i'm going to be wearing them again soon. . . so why take the time to hang them up and stuff them in with all the clothes i don't wear on a regular basis? I'm not saying you should live like this- if people are coming over or if you have accumulated 4 laundry baskets all over your room (which i have before). . . then it's time to start putting stuff away. but come on- it's ok to not always have a place for everything and everything in it's place (despite how much that's been beaten into your head)!

. . . to watch movies on TV that you own on DVD. For some reason it seems like less of a commitment to sit down and watch a movie on TV than it does to get up and put in the DVD. I mean, you weren't planning on "movie time." You have things to get done. Watching the movie on TV seems less time consuming (you can get up and do things on commercials). . . in all reality- that two hour movie has now turned into 3 and a half hours. . . and let's be honest- you only got up to do stuff on like 3 of the commercial breaks- and two out of the three were bathroom break/snack break. :)

. . . to be a texter, not a talker. I'm not saying that life doesn't require the occasional phone conversation- but you don't have to listen to the "old school" people who say texting isn't a valid form of communication either. I don't always have the time or the need for an actual conversation (which means: small talk, catching up, reason for calling, random chatter, "ok, well. . ." end to conversation). . . that's time consuming! most often i have a quick question that needs a quick answer. even making plans doesn't have to be difficult over text: "wanna c a movie 2nite? post grad shows @ fallen timbers @ 9. dinner 1st? lmk." see, that was easy.
