That 47 minute video about organizing your fridge took me 3 hours to get through
I kept pausing to actually rearrange my shelves while watching and ended up throwing away a jar of pickles from 2022. Has anyone else fallen for these "simple" task videos only to realize they've burned a whole afternoon on it?
Honestly, my kitchen junk drawer is a graveyard of those videos. I watched a 12 minute one on folding fitted sheets once and somehow ended up reorganizing my entire linen closet, found three mismatched pillowcases and a sock I thought the dryer ate. The key for me now is setting a timer on my phone before I even hit play, like 20 minutes max, and I tell myself it's a snack break, not a full project. That way I actually watch the thing without getting sucked into a deep clean spiral, and the pickles stay safe for another year.
