All that stuff my housekeeper used to do: Laundry, cleaning the house, cleaning the dog, telling people I'm not available, watering the plants, maintaining the stuff in the house That said, when given the opportunity to be lazy, I am lazy. The harder I work, the more I get done in all arenas of life, to a point. I really think that the American ideals of efficiency and productivity have been driven to an extreme and that we will continue to discover the extents of the negative effects for years. If I could eliminate one thing that I feel would benefit me I think it would be this ingrained cultural ideal of success. Note that many of those in the most "successful" positions in Western society are also some of the least satisfied.
