notanotherdecade, You don't need a hat, you don't need any dice, Just jump right in. Make up some rules as you go along, change the rules as you find what works best for you! Earlier I rolled a 2 and then went and spent a few minutes tidying in the bedroom. I've done a lot of other random things since then, now I rolled a 1. I'm going to work in the kitchen for a few minutes.

I rolled a die on Random.org and came up with a 4, then remembered I had already vacuumed in my living room earlier. What a coincidence . We used to play something like this in a chat room I used to be in several years ago. Gillian

I'm either feeling blue or fatigued today. Either way, I'm having trouble with motivation. So I'm going to make it interesting. If I get everything done, I'll reward myself with a nice bath tonight.
1. Unload dishwasher/reload dishwasher 2. Clean off counter/wipe down counter 3. Clean off table/wipe down table 4. Wipe down stove
5. Sweep kitchen
6. Master floor
7. De-clutter bathrooms
8. De-clutter living room/sweep living room/mop 9. De-clutter hallway/sweep hallway/mop 10. Sweep boys' room/mop 11. Sweep master room/mop 12. Tidy desk
13. Gather stray laundry 14. Bonus task
Roll 1: 5 - Sweep kitchen Roll 2: 13 - Gather stray laundry Roll 3: 7 - De-clutter bathrooms
So, I gave up for most of the day. I just felt so depressed and fatigued. It got pretty major there for a bit. Then, I got up and decided I was at least going to unload and reload my dishwasher. That led to the realization that there really wasn't much else to do in the kitchen. So, I finished it off. Then I realized that I was almost done with my dailies. So, I got all that done. Around dinner time, it occurred to me that I still had plenty of time to do all the sweeping and most of the mopping. I got all of that done except mopping the boys' room, which I'll do tomorrow. So basically I got out of that funk. But there's no dice rolls to show for it. I just found the oomph I needed.

I have completely lost control of my life. Yesterday, I spent about 90% of my day watching videos of the lead singer of a band I'm currently obsessed with. For crying out loud, I watched a video of him shaving. I mean, I cut the video off quickly, but still. My apartment is trashed. I'm just spending all my time hiding from reality. Anyway, I'm going to attempt to get back with it. This often helps. Wish me luck.
1. Unload/reload dw 2. Trash off table 3. 15 minutes in living room
4. Tidy desk 5. Gather stray laundry
6. Master floor 7. Sweep kitchen
8. De-clutter bathrooms
Roll 1: 8 - Bathrooms Roll 2: 1 - Load dw Roll 3: 6 - Master floor Roll 4: 4 - Tidy desk Roll 5: 2 - Trash off table

What do I even say?
1. Load & run dishwasher 2. Hand wash dishes X2 3. Clear/wipe down surfaces - Gonna take a couple rounds since I'm doing 15-minute increments, and it took that long just to do the table. 4. Tidy kitchen floor 5. 15 minutes on living room floor X2
6. Take chairs downstairs 7. 15 minutes in boys' room X2 8. Desk 9. 15 minutes in master room 10. Bathroom floors & sink
Temporarily forgot I was doing the game and just started with what I would ordinarily start with.
Roll 1: 6 - Chairs downstairs - Kinda not looking forward to this since it's four trips up and down two floors. (It was only two trips because I was able to do two at a time.) Roll 2: 5 - Living room Roll 3: 3 - Clear kitchen surfaces Roll 4: 4 - Tidy kitchen floor
