It is genuinely embarrassing how much more I am motivated to vacuum my apartment after finding a Dyson V11 battery powered vacuum on a smokin’ deal about 6 months ago. “Plugging the vacuum in” should not be such a hurdle to keeping my house clean… and yet here we are.
Major improvement over the stock Dyson: replacing the dying battery with a power drill battery adapter. The big ones easily have 2-3x the capacity of a new stock battery, which let me vacuum my whole flat at least 3 times before swapping in a fresh battery executive dysfunction kicks in.

My life has become about either adding or removing friction in my life to circumvent my self sabotage, so yeah, I get it
That is an honestly great way to put it, and it’s 100% true for me as well
A way to remove friction here is robovacs. I have mine to run on a timer so I don’t even have to start it myself.

swapping in a fresh batteryexecutive dysfunction kicks in.Oooo, for me it’s also winding the cord back up when done.
Cordless vacuums are amazing for me.
Same. Dealing with a cord was enough hassle to very rarely ever use it.
my hurdle is moving it up and down stairs, especially in my narrow basement stairs
so I have a shitty little old vacuum that lives plugged in downstairs, and the good vacuum lives on the main floor
problem is it’s a bag vacuum, not canister… I hate the subscription & garbage aspect of it, so I tend to use it only when necessary
