    41 Things That Will Help You Complete Those Tasks You Keep Avoiding

    Your chores just got a whole lot easier.

    1. A dishwashing spray here to make it easier to clean those gunk-covered dishes that have been chilling in the sink for a few days too many.

    2. A sloth daily planner and note pad that'll help you stay on task, but won't judge you for moving a lil' slowly.

    3. A laundry sorter cart to make sorting clothes much easier so you can stop pretending today isn't laundry day.

    4. A universal dust cleaning gel so you can stop struggling to reach those nooks and crannies in your keyboard, car vents, printer, and other appliances. Plus, it's weirdly fun to use, has a pleasant lemony smell, and is nonstick so you won't have any gooey residue left behind!

    5. A spinning makeup brush cleaner that'll do most of the work for you — and faster! It swirls your brushes in soapy water until leftover makeup, dead skin cells, dirt, and debris are gone, and then spins the brush until it's dry.

    6. A nonstick, food-safe baking mat because now you can make cookies whenever you want without having to decide if it's worth needing to scrape a baking plan clean after. Nothing talks me out of cooking and baking like anticipating a cleanup, but these make it so much easier!

    7. A pet urine stain–removing spray perfect for pet owners who are desperate to remove spots and smells both old and new. Simply spray and let the enzymes gobble up all the gross stuff you don't feel like spending forever scrubbing away at. Then just blot and let air dry, and you can cross it off your to-do list!

    Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories.

    Promising review: "I don’t know how I ever survived without this. There’re tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5–$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it’s a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes, then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it’s in a high-traffic area until it’s completely dry. It’s taken out every stain and, more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" —Shelley

    9. Some washing machine cleaning tablets you just have to run through a cycle to clean your machine and keep your clothes smelling fresher when they come out of the wash.

    10. A dry erase calendar that'll keep your tasks organized so you can stop feeling so overwhelmed.

    11. Some hydrogen peroxide–infused toilet bombs — they'll fizz around to freshen and clean your bowl. When used regularly, they'll even eliminate the need to get in there with a pumice stone, so you can spend as little time face to face with your throne as possible.

    12. An Atlas Coffee Club subscription so you're always fully stocked with delicious fuel to get you through your to-do list.

    14. And a pet hair remover designed to easily pull *a lot* more pet fur off your carpets, couches, and car seats than you even thought was there in the first place.

    15. Some exercise cards so you can stop skipping workouts because you don't know where to start. These'll help guide you through a routine so you can feel more confident about your process and motivated to get started!

    16. A Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaning kit that'll make it easy peasy to remove the years worth of crud stuck to your stove top that you've been staring at, hoping it'll magically disappear one day.

    17. An under-desk bike pedaler, mini elliptical, or DeskCycle so you can multitask and squeeze in a workout without fully committing.

    18. A tough, extendable snow brush with a squeegee and ice scraper in case the only thing standing in between you and the grocery store is the mountain of ice covering your car.

    19. Or a windshield cover if the idea of scraping ice off your windshield is what's keeping you from running those errands.

    22. Some Wet & Forget shower cleaner you just have to spray to clean and prevent scummy buildup. No scrubbing or wiping required — hooray!

    23. A pumice stone toilet bowl cleaner that makes it easier to remove those gross stains, so you can stop making eye contact with them every time you're in the bathroom and thinking "I will get to that...someday."

    24. A beard trimming catcher so you can stop avoiding shaving, because — let's be real — what you're really avoiding is spending more time than it even took you to shave cleaning up all of those tiny hairs that get EVERYWHERE.

    25. A heavy-duty oven scrub designed to make oven disasters a lot *less* disastrous. It's made with gritty pumice stone so you can easily scrape out those burnt-on bits on the sides, racks, and even on the door's glass panel.

    26. A robot vacuum that'll actually do an efficient job so you can stop finding excuses when it's your turn to be on vacuum duty.

    27. Some stain-removing tablets to save the day if you've got blankets, clothes, towels, or other laundry with tough stains or odors that just don't seem to wanna come out. Just toss one in with a regular load and those tricky spots and smells will be long gone!

    28. An automatic litter box — it does the dirty work for you, and is designed to sift out clumps so that your cat won't leave a fun trail of litter all over your house for you to clean up later.

    29. A fun daily planner specifically designed to help increase productivity and time management by prompting you to set monthly, weekly, and daily goals. Seeing how seemingly mundane tasks fit into your overall plan can be super helpful and motivating, especially if most of your procrastination stems from feeling overwhelmed, scattered, discouraged, and distracted.

    30. A grout paint pen that works like a regular marker so that even the least handy person can easily cover up the years of dirt and grime keeping your bathroom from ever looking truly clean.

    31. A pair of blue-light-blocking glasses said to help you avoid headaches and eye fatigue from staring at a computer screen all day. Maybe now your eyes won't be too exhausted by the time you're done with work to accomplish those personal tasks that are all — of course — online.

    32. A speedy oven cleaner designed to blast through baked-on crud, so all you have to do is simply wipe it clean.

    33. A Chrome extension called StayFocusd that restricts the amount of time you can stay on time-sucking sites like YouTube. That way, a quick scroll doesn't turn into a multi-hour Reddit hole researching unsolved mysteries from the 1980s when you should really be working on that assignment that's due...today.

    34. A rapid egg cooker so you can stop waiting to eat breakfast until you are fully hangry, all because you don't feel like cooking. This impressive device can make hard boiled, soft boiled, poached, and scrambled eggs in just minutes so you don't have to!

    35. A folding board that makes folding easy and dare I say...fun? Maybe now your fresh, clean laundry won't languish in a pile until everything is too wrinkled to wear anyway.

    37. A fast-acting carpet spot-removing spray to remove those stains you hoped would just go away on their own (even though you secretly knew they wouldn't).

    38. A garbage disposal cleaner — it'll banish the foul odor coming from your sink so you don't have to get up close and personal with last week's rotting veggies.

    39. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner to loosen those splatters and stains so all you have to do is wipe them clean.

    40. A coconut-based laundry stain pre-treat stick that'll get rid of pesky stains on all fabrics without requiring you to do any hand washing! Just wet the stained area, rub it with the Wunderbar stain stick, throw it in the wash, and that's it! Yellow pit stains, oil, makeup, food, dirt, and yes even poop will be long gone by the time the cycle ends.

    41. And finally, a splurge-worthy robot lawn mower if yard work is your arch nemesis. It's totally customizable so you can set a schedule and tell it where to go and where not to go. It handles obstacles and narrow pathways with ease, detects rain to avoid cutting wet grass, and even knows to return to its charger when it's finished like a good little robot.
