Thing about yourself-My ability to see things from many perspectives, but it can make it hard to make decisions sometimes.

Lifehack (a time saving, efficiency technique for life)-I have dozens I get from Pinterest. 1. Simply put a glass of water in your microwave and heat for about one minute (This should make the inside of the microwave steamy)

2. Let the glass sit in the microwave for about 20 minutes with the door closed. (The moisture condensing on the walls will soften the food residue).
3. Wipe off the residue with a sponge or paper towel.
