Everything becomes more exciting if you hum the Indiana Jones theme while you're doing it -- washing dishes, taking out the trash, sitting in traffic, everything.

Here, try it: brush your teeth while going "Dum da dum daaa, duh da da! Dum da dum daaa, duh da da daaaa!" Suddenly that minor act of daily tedium because a daring adventure.

Becuase, Lord knows, we could all use a little less daily tedium and a little more daring adventure.
