Sometimes, all it takes is a new paradigm on an old chore. Consider a change of perspective when it comes to things you don’t like to do around the house.

Great vlog. Actually, most chores around the house I have done this with (e.g., cleaning, dishes, packing kids stuff for the next day, mowing, shoveling, other odd projects). I have found that when I do most of those things as you said I am by myself no kids, no work to be done, just me and my own thoughts. However, most of the time I have found it to be a great time to get some audio books listened to or podcasts. It then makes most of those tasks somewhat fun to look forward to as I enjoy books and podcasts but it is hard to find time during my day.
Thank you Eric! You’re right – it’s a great way to do the things that don’t normally come to us when we don’t have specified ‘free’ time to do them.
I used hate to do laundry then it was suggested to me to just that on task, instead a mountain do one complete (wash dry fold put away)load everyday. It has made it much more enjoyable and as you mentioned the fact that is done for the day is a good thing.
Joanna, I completely understand. Laundry was such a burden to me until I downsized my closet and started a regular laundry routine. It’s amazing how much doing a little bit at a time can help with the overall task. Thank you for watching the vlog!
Hi Anthony, nice vlog and completely agree: we cannot change the fact we need to do the chore, but we can change the way we think about it!
I too try to enjoy daily chores. Like doing the dishes: I used to hate it, but now it has become my little moment of peace in which I wonder off in my thoughts and I cannot pick up the phone with soapy hands (I LOVE excuses not to be able to pick up the phone 🙂
Thank you Mel – it’s amazing how powerful the mind can be. It’s within us to change the way we feel about activities as unpleasant as they may seem at times. Thank you for watching!
