For me showering means standing in a windowless room staring at a blank wall for 20 minutes (I get lost in my thoughts). Also there are several steps and I have to think about each of them.
This means that I only end up showering when my fear of coming across as dirty becomes bigger than the dread of being bored.
What do you do?
You can reduce the time there by making the water colder. You can also approach the experience as a sequence of steps and work out how you can wash every single part of your body in the least amount of steps.
For example, is it quicker to get all wet, turn off the shower, lather up your body, then rinse it all off in one go, or is it more efficient to do it from top to bottom, one body part at a time?
What’s the fastest you’ve been able to go from sleeping to walking out the door having had a full shower?
Finally, you should probably have a shower once a day if you’re around other people or if you get visitors. You might not smell anything, but they definitely will.
Finally, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with zoning out in the shower. Some days you luxuriate in the experience, some days you don’t.
Good luck!
This for me. I have the moves choreographed and timed, and every shower is a step by step play of the sequence. I just repeat the ritual. I’m not the quickest (it takes about 8 minutes from entering to exiting the bathroom) because I’m paranoid about not cleaning thoroughly.
