Like, a very small sink, probably just a cold water line and a drain. But one in every room.

Thirsty? Sink next to the couch. Sink in the studio/office. Sink next to the bed. Water bottle gross? Rinse it out and fill it up!

I mean, fuck, the sink next to the bed would probably help me actually brush my teeth and wash my face on a more consistent basis. Think about it! You could grab your toothbrush first thing before you get out of bed so you don't even think about it. It might even feel good for the people like me who grind their teeth like a mf

(I mean, I already reach for my vape first thing every morning... yeah, it's awful, ***but*** I could probably re-train myself to grab a toothbrush since the muscle memory is kinda already there 🤷‍♀️)

Honestly, now that I'm writing this out, I legitimately might look into the bedside sink idea. I know how to do plumbing. I've installed sinks before. Getting the water lines hooked up would be pretty simple, but the drain line could be tricky... I'll tuck that idea away in the mental project pile 😅

(TL;DR - got a simple watch that beeps on the hour, and it's almost subconsciously re-training my brain to *actually* keep track of time)

I'm working as a tailor right now (**highly** recommend for my sewing oriented peeps) - My work space in local a shop is still under construction, so I've been working from home. My studio space is in my basement, so I'm basically a cave troll 😅

Having total control over when I work, combined with almost no natural light, was making it a *nightmare* to keep track of the time, much less what day it even fucking is.

So, I got a super simple digital Casio watch. Had one as a kid and wore it for years, so I figured why not?

It has the day of the week, the date, the time - everything I need (plus water resistance, 5 alarms, a timer, and a stopwatch 🤷‍♀️). Admittedly, it's a little too big to comfortably wear on my wrist (my old one was smaller), so I just hang it from a belt loop.

**BUT** it also has a feature you can turn on so it beeps every hour. Not an alarm to turn off, not a reminder for anything - just a single, simple, quiet beep.

And I swear, it's like it's re-training my brain to tell how time works. I now know what an hour feels like. My fucking sleep schedule is normalizing. I'm getting consistent with what time I need to stop working. I can almost tell the time by intuition alone! It's insane. I *feel* insane!

But it's working???
