My family gives me street and road names, landmarks, etc… which doesn’t work for me.
What I really need is an address so that I can drive to the location once. After that, in my head I’m telling myself, “fork to the right, weird house, sharp turn, field, slow down because it’s right after the old barn.”
Either that, or I need them to say something like “remember where the old movie theater used to be? The one where your brother broke his tooth? It’s the road to the left next to the gas station and it’s the third driveway on the right.”
After I drive somewhere once I can just get a feeling when I’m close to where I need to turn, or need to be, but for that first drive, you better give me exact coordinates.
Or just use your aging sponges in a rotating lifecycle. I have 4 stages/sponges at one time that slowly get demoted as they age.
New sponge only gets light jobs. Scrapped clean dishes, pans that just need the oil washed off.
Middle stage wear is used for stuck on foods and generally more gross dishes.
Not usable for dishes, but good for counter/stove tops.
Dirty jobs. Nothing food related. Floors, bathrooms, use with disinfectants.
