I’m really not going to use this post to gripe, although if I note something amusing, then I’ll certainly post it.
Right now, I’m thinking about putting up laundry.
Why? It’s one of the most uninspiring tasks to do. Simply stated, why do it? If I put it off, it’s already clean, so it doesn’t make matters worse. The kitchen or picking up a particular mess has a much higher sanitary priority. On the other hand, if I wait for my wife to return from one of her business trips, I’ve cut short our potential for lovemaking because she’s spending time doing Laundry. So, I guess I found my incentive….
From a results point of view, my performance metric is – can I get the kids off to school on time, with lunch, clean clothes, and their homework ready. Therefore, any task that is directly related to attaining this goal is more important than putting up laundry. But the more I think about it, if I want the kids to be more self sufficient, I’ve got to make sure the clean clothes are always in their room ready to go.
