I don’t know about you but winter just seems to slow me down.
Everything takes longer. Finding the motivation to leave my warm bed and get started, self-talking my way out of a hot shower and getting dressed for the day (layers upon layers upon layers!) Then at the end of a long day it can seem like it takes forever to reach your comfy place. You’ve got to locate your slippers, rug up in the dressing gown and wait for the kettle to boil for a tummy-warming cuppa. Ugh!
Add to that the winter health hazards like colds and allergies and if you’re like me, you’re counting down the days till summer. So, I got to thinking, there’s got to be smarter ways to handle the deep freeze. Here are my suggestions:
1. Leave your toasty supplies in one place.
Before you leave for work, put all of your feel-good stuff in the one place, meaning that as soon as you walk through the door you’re not searching for slippers and dressing gowns to warm up. If you’ve got a helpful significant other or housemate, call ahead and ask them to put the kettle on in anticipation for your homecoming. Just be prepared to return the favour.
