Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the den with dangerous Day. You know,
earlier in the week we talked about the poop rule
for decluttering your house. That's where if you imagine something
actually had pieces on it, would you just throw it
away or would you think it's important enough you'd clean
it off and keep it. It's a good way to
declutter your house. They say, Well, here's another way that
can have a big impact. Four areas of your house

(00:22):
that you can use this. First of all, under your
kitchen sink, things like on a regular basis. Keep those
like dishwasher tabs, sponges, keep them front and center. Throw
away anything you don't use anymore, like old expired cleaning products. Yeah,
we have stuff underneath there that's probably ten years old.
How about your utility or utensil drawer. You're always searching
for things in a clutter drawer. Takes a few minutes,

(00:43):
organize them for easier use, toss or donate duplicate things
like can openers or pizza cutters. And then garage tools.
Cleaning an entire garage can kind of be overwhelming, but
tackling one area at a time, they say, like gardening
tools can be much more manageable. Or your nightstand. It's
one of the first things you see when you wake
up in the morning or before falling asleep, so keep
it clean makes a long way towards making you feel

(01:04):
like you're more organized. At the top of my nightstand
is nice and tidy. Now the stuff that's been in
my nightstand, it's probably been in there for twenty years
deeper in the two well, this is why companies insist
on tracking productivity. A new report found the average employee
wastes this incredible amount of time on activities that have
nothing to do with their job. Big surprise, right, biggest

(01:25):
waste of time now streaming stuff and watching TV. Young
people are the biggest culprits on The average Gen zor's
watch two hundred and thirty six hours of TV a
year on the clock. That's almost ten days worth. Based
on an average hourly wage of thirty five dollars an hour,
eight two hundred and forty one dollars worth of time
spending watching TV for Gen xers, seven thousand millennials were

(01:46):
the least at three hundred and eighty five. We waste
a lot of time on other stuff too. Top time
wasters besides watching TV, playing games, socializing, browsing the Internet,
and just relaxing and daydreaming. Well, I guess there's a
daydream in there, occasionally something about the power ball in Hawaii.
