Or, the nature of time, of humans, of procrastination.

It's s no/ brained that having an outfit picked out the night before can save time in the morning.

Still I resist it for unclear reasons, maybe a combination of too many choices, as well as various flaws and foibles! But that is not the thing whereof I ramble!

I know the time that is used up standing before the closet rails and going, hmmmm, as well as time switching gears and tossing things on& off.

But I've been tuning in to the " hidden" time lost as all aspects of getting ready may get subconsciously drawn out, as if to avoid the final reckoning. And mental processes tied up in thinking about it.

Of course that applies to other tasks, too("pack your lunch the night before!"), but they are not as fraught as " the outfit".

It's caused me to re- evaluate how long it actually takes me to get ready.
If I have a great outfit picked out, it's amazing how much faster I can get through the whole getting- ready
sequence. It even feeds back to rousting out of bed in the morning.

I may want to try Brenda Kinsel's Outfit charts also. I know many folks use photos or computer spreadsheets. But I kind of like low- tech and have made index cards and added to them. So I might play with other paper systems.
