A X ALL THE THINGS post.
New Year's Day: you will run, read, learn Spanish and drink three litres of water. All the things. By the fourth of January you have drunk one litre and learnt the Spanish for "tired". Saturday, 9 in the morning, broom raised: clean all the things. By 11 you have cleaned one drawer, found a box of old photos, and are sitting on the floor reading birthday cards from 2009. You download three apps that will definitely organise your life, then one to organise the apps. You now spend twenty minutes a day organising, and do nothing else. The hotel breakfast buffet. Eat all the things. Two croissants, a waffle, beans, some sushi for reasons. By 9:15 you're lying by the pool like a seal and the holiday is over for today. **Why it caught on:** in Allie Brosh's 2010 Hyperbole and a Half post "This Is Why I'll Never Be an Adult", her stick figure self raises a broom and shouts "Clean ALL the things!", and the energy is gone by the next day. Everyone knows that glorious hour of being sure you can do everything.
