So does anyone else gamify heating their houses in winter? Like I try to keep the furnace from turning on by cooking and running washing machines and such. Get myself sick of baking so I don't in the middle of summer.

Absolutely. My spouse looks at me like I'm crazy for putting black blankets on the floor in front of all the south-facing windows, but it's a noticeable difference in those rooms. I also keep the leftover pasta and kettle water out until it's cooled down instead of dumping hot water down the drain. Helps to avoid running the humidifier too.
