UNKAOS sounds a bit like a submarine operation. How do we go about UNKAOSing? Any specific principles to follow, or is it just a matter of making shitty things better?

You start with KAOS and work against entropy to undo it
And usually you have to first invent ~~the universe~~ an organisational system
For me it's a way I can stop wasting time , also can stop fretting about not doing things
I am also embracing a "good enough" philosophy", good enough is better than not doing something at all. And I can improve next time a task comes up on my schedule, until then, I don't worry.

Someone has stolen my bin now. People are literally stealing anything that isnโt nailed down -_-
Iโve reported it and am going to have to just keep garbage bags on the doorstep while I wait for the replacement.
Someone stole our recycling bin once, then it came back a couple of weeks later. Maybe a case of mistaken identity.
Bins also get tipped into the truck occasionally
I want to do art, to exercise, to UNKAOSโฆ
But it all takes energy and feels pointless
Do a tiny bit of each, the pointless feeling is the resistance. 3 x 10 push ups against the kitchen counter and same squats sitting into a chair, you've got all day. Do the dishes. Draw a bird or some faces or a scene for a few minutes. If you don't have a lot of energy, aim to only spend a little lest your cup run empty.

I recently received a $60 credit from The Good Guys after an ACCC ruling (they'd had a promotion with some dodgy terms). I decided to get a new toaster, and fortuititously the toaster and delivery came to exactly $60. Can't complain about an unexpected free toaster.
Dammit, I've got $20 tgg credit if anyone wants it.
Up early again, it's becoming a habit.
From the 2nd story kitchen window I look at the train to the city go by, 5.04 and it already has some passengers on their way to work. The train coming the other way has workers going home.

poor sweety,
Sheโs still an absolute trooper though. Still eating, drinking, walking over to visitors to check them out. Still trying to convince me to let her outside
Missing: YarraByte. May have been blown away . If seen please tell Mr Byte to report to the daily thread. Do not report sightings to 000 unless you want to really confuse an emergency calltaker.
Nah, he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again. Not an emergency fortunately, just a baaaad habit. We may have to start a gofundme to secure an adequate supply of beroccas.
