I don’t like chores, but I do like less stress. Keeping up with certain basic maintenance chores creates less stress because when you go to do ABCD thing you need to do, especially when you need to do ABCD thing and you’re low on energy , then you don’t have to fuss.
Ex: being hungry and maybe tired, but discovering a dirty kitchen you have to navigate through in order to cook something.

If I could pay someone to do some of these
‘Life maintenance’ tasks periodically without it causing me financial stress I definitely would though lol… Hanging laundry doesn’t bring me joy 🤭

@WhateverWorks It's okay but I don't do it often. Back in the dorm, I do laundry at night. But many prefer to do it in the morning for the sun.
But yeah. Same thought especially in my teens. I wanted to be productive in other things. But of course there are somethings we'd rather not hire a stranger who you need to supervise.
Stress cleaning I do once in a while. But selected chores only.

🤔 I’m not much of a stress cleaner. If anything, when I’m under stress I only do high priority stuff because I need to focus on whatever it is I’m stressed about — usually deadlines. Thankfully, my boyfriend understands that if my apartment is trashed that means I have an essay or something lol. What I was writing about before is a rhythm of preemptive cleaning as a form of preventing stressors from popping up on the regular. Using the example I gave above, I keep up with my kitchen so that way I can focus on cooking when the time comes rather than having to be stressed out by the mess I’d have to push around or clean before I can even begin cooking, the whole time mindful of the clock that I need to have everything done so I can get my kid to bed at a reasonable hour etc. etc. instead, I can just cook dinner @Casheyane
