Reverse chunking is one of my favorite strategies. “Easy” can be hard for us. Regular, everyday tasks are often tedious and boring. Somethings we really need to do every day, like make food and clean up after ourselves. But there are a lot of things that don’t need to be done very often, provided we do them somewhat regularly. Here is one example.
I do the laundry in our house. I HATE doing laundry. I also HATE being in the middle of doing laundry. So, I do all the laundry in the whole house every two weeks. Beds get changed, towels get done, everyone’s clothes, and everything else. Everything gets folded and put away. (The putting away is the part my wife does.) So, it’s not the best day of my life, every other Thursday. But it does mean that 13 out of 14 days I’m not doing laundry. That means that I only do laundry roughly 7% of my days on this earth. Life could be worse. Just make sure you have enough underwear.
