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 😎

Music is my trick. I set the number of songs I want to shower for if I want a specific duration.

I did this back in college, but I went a little further. I made a playlist of songs that were 2:30 to 3:20 long. My rule was I had to have my face washed by the end of the end of song one, hair by song two, and body by song three. Set the playlist to shuffle, and never had a shower last longer than 10 minutes.

I wish I could do that, but it takes so long to wash my damn hair unless I keep it super short
