  • I have a cleaning lady who comes every-other week, which takes care of most upkeep. I also have a roomba that runs daily. Otherwise:

    Walk the dog twice a day.
    Do dishes / clean the kitchen every night.
    Laundry, once a week while working from home.
    Empty the litter box robot once a week.
    Take out trash as needed.
    I also meal prep every Sunday.

    I used to be a very messy person, but this system has worked well for me.









  • Personally there’s two key factors I look for: mesh seating and a back that reclines independently of the seat.

    For the former, I get overheated on leather or cloth. Being suspended on mesh helps regulate temperature during an 8 hour workday.

    For the latter, I once had an office chair that the seat tilted when the back was reclined. It dug into my under-knees and made my feet go numb.

    I picked up a mesh chair at Office Max 10+ years ago and have been using it for 8+ hours a day since then. Zero issues or back pain.





  • “The goat man will get you.”

    Used as a warning when doing something careless that would invite predators. My great-grandma came to the US from the Czech Republic and told the story of a man who raised goats and would steal children and break into homes at night. It was a reminder to lock your doors and valuables, and to never walk alone in shady neighborhoods.

    I wish I could remember how to say it in Czech. It began with “Kuzubah”.
