A few weeks later, on a Monday morning, as I started the nonnegotiable task of sweeping my kitchen, I realized why I need to sweep my kitchen every day even though not everyone does. The task had very little to do with sweeping my kitchen. It was about the pile of newspapers on the floor by the breakfast table. I didn’t even see them until I grabbed my broom. Having a nonnegotiable task cleared my Slob Vision. I saw the clutter because I couldn’t sweep the kitchen without seeing it.
