You how it goes: The weekend finally gets here, and you’ve only got a few free hours before it’s back to the psycho treadmill of the week. You have a choice: You can work on something fun, like a hobby, or you can do some housecleaning.<\/p>\n

Let Brian J. tell you how you can do both–at the same time!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I like to get out something in my hobbies–collecting (accumulating!) things–and I put it in the middle of everything. <\/p>\n

Like when I cleaned my office the last time, I took the ill-advised long boxes of comic books (I organized my comic books and put them in long boxes like you see at comic book shops, but then I learned long boxes don’t fit onto shelves-they’re designed for tables of comic books like at comic book shops!), and I put them into the hallway so I could vacuum my office. But it is a dark hallway! So I could leave the boxes there for months! And I did.<\/em><\/p>\n

So today, armed with some new short boxes (which fit nicely on shelves!), I did both housecleaning and hobby!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I reorganized the comics and cleaned up the hall!<\/p>\n

So keep that in mind! Sometimes you have to make a bigger mess just to clean it up–especially if you want to spend your weekend hours most efficiently!<\/em><\/p>\n

Now, someday I’ll do something about the other boxes in the hallway containing overflow Atari 2600 cartridges and record albums. Someday–on a weekend where I want to think I was doing housework!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
