Embrace the Differences in the Definition of Chore: Managing the 3 Ds.

by | Jul 19, 2018 | Habits

My next-door neighbor professed amazement that I mow my own lawn, do the weeding and shovel the driveway when it snows. She said she hated doing outside/garden work. But, she doesn’t mind doing stuff inside the house. So – she hires people to do all the outside work.

Another friend of mine hates doing yard work, so he moved to a condo, where his condo fees go towards managing the outside of the property. He effectively deleted the chore he disliked the most.

That’s the beauty of this approach. Reflect on what you consider to be a chore and then decide: to DO it, to DELETE it, or to DELEGATE it.
