The secret of surviving housework is simply to do it. Pull the plug on the part of your brain that always wants to negotiate everything. You need to change a diaper, rinse a bottle, clean a spill, fluff a pillow? Consider it done. It's a no-brainer. End of conversation. End of story. Not postponing chores-and not spending any mental energy equivocating, temporizing, or stalling-is actually a lot more restful than worrying about what needs to be done. ↗

There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse. ↗

I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again. ↗
