You're Doing It Wrong

Have you ever had a moment of sweet realization?

Has one of those moments ever occurred to you when you realize that you were wrong, and it is a beautiful thing?  Like when you realize that you were SO wrong loading up your burger with ketchup all those years when you could have been using a real tomato slice and a bit of lettuce.

Do you remember a specific instance in which you learned a shortcut?  Perhaps it was a quicker way to work, or maybe a better method of filing and/or organizing.  My favorite “I’ve been doing it wrong” moments often come in the form of masterpieces in the kitchen resulting from some experimentation.

Sometimes you feel like kicking yourself, others you may laugh hysterically.  Today, I felt like hitting an Easy Button!

Occasionally, something is easier than you anticipated. Other times it seems so much simpler than the last time you attempted the task.  It is then when you realize that you were doing it wrong.

Today, I realized that I have been shaving wrong!  Yes, you read that correctly.  I don’t know if it was the razor or the cream, but I cut the amount of time that it took me to shave by nearly two thirds, and I have never had a smoother, closer shave in my life.

The product change was totally worth jumping a few extra dollars at the store.  Here is what I used:

I usually use a foamy shaving cream, and this stuff is more like a cream.  I have shaved using conditioner in a pinch before, and this is somewhere in between a thick cream and a conditioner.  I can't believe that I'm SO excited that I've been doing it wrong for years!

Message of the Day:  Change up your routine every once in a while.  You might adopt the change as a permanent part of your routine as a result.

…Or don’t.  It won’t change my reality.  Cheers!
