Is this O.C.D. or just second nature?
Do I need professional help or should I be teaching lessons on efficiency?
EVERY SINGLE TIME I empty the dishwasher, I start with the lower rack first and get out the large plates, then the medium plates, then the small plates. Next, I move to the upper rack and grab the big glass bowls, then the regular-size glass bowls, and finally the plastic/melamine kids' bowls (because they go in the same cabinet as the plates). Then, while I'm still on the upper rack, I empty out the mugs, then the glasses, then the plastic kids' cups. Then there's still an order to the measuring cups, lids and large cooking utensils. I go back down to the lower rack for the cutting boards/tupperware containers/pots & pans and any other random stuff. I always finish very last with the silverware tote. I do it like this EVERY time. I never depart from this routine.
EVERY SINGLE TIME I put on my lip balm - and
if you know me, you know that is about 12+ times a day - I start on the lower left lip, slide over to the right lower lip, and then swipe back to the starting point. Then I move to the upper lip; starting on the right side, sliding over to the left side, and finish up by swiping back to the upper right side. I ALWAYS apply my lip balm this way - no other way.
Face. Neck. Left arm. Chest. Right arm. Stomach/torso. Right leg. Left leg. "Down South." Rear end. Back. Hair. Make a turban for my head. THIS is the order that I dry off EVERY SINGLE TIME I get out of the shower. It's like I don't even know how to do it any other way. I'd surely forget a body part if I did it "out of sync."
Do YOU have things you HAVE to do a certain way?!?
