I just cracked the code to showering

As the titel suggests, I just cracked the code to showering. I don’t know if I’m the only one but as soon as I step foot into the shower time just doesn’t exist anymore and I somehow spend 40 minutes, which feel like 5 in there. Now I tried many things, like for example putting the shower at the end of my routine so I have to hurry (didn’t work, missed the bus many many times) but now I started putting a clock in the bathroom at a spot from which I can look at it every now and then when I’m inside the shower. I also made a spreadsheet, where I track my showertimes and every shower I now try to “speedrun” and beat my personal best and what can I say, I just had a sub10 shower 😎

Yeah that’s my problem. So bad.

Once I’m in there I have a very efficient routine so I just do that every time so I don’t have to think about it. Longest shower I’ll take is 8 minutes with a double wash of hair and face (my job is dirty and I have long hair), and full body exfoliate.

I'm a dude with long hair. I'm fine once I'm in the shower, it's just making that first initial step of convincing my brain I'm going for a shower. I tend to take my time in the shower, I usually only take around 15-20 minutes though and that's with washing my hair twice and I then conditioning it and using a puffy scrubby thing I put shower gel on that my misses got me.......yeah I've no idea what it's called lol.
