I have 168 hours a week, of which only 110 are feasible to use (sleep), and by the time we include all the chores, wage-work, bad habits, and procrastination, I probably only live 30 hours a week. That’s bullshit; three quarters of my life pissed away. I could live four times as much if I could cut out that stuff.
There are different ways to deal with that:
Minimizing the chores—obviously if they are chores you want to do as little of them as possible. If only they’d be neccessary. If they weren’t you wouldn’t do them, or?
Delegate the chores—either to one for whome these are no chores or who doesn’t mind
Enjoy the chores—if they are inevitable (for whatever reason) you should apply the Litany of Tarski or alternatively the serenity prayer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_Prayer—after all whan cannot be changed can at least be made into fun possibly?
Reinterpret the chores—Many tasks can be made interesting. Can it be done different? More interesting? Split? Shared? Analysed in interesting ways?
