PROCRASTINATING TAKES LONGER THAN DOING:
A productive housewife starts each day by getting into the swing of housework as soon as possible instead of procrastinating. The longer it takes to get going, the longer it takes to get housework done; and if something unforeseen occurs later in the day, such as a power outage, it’s better to be done with housework early rather than having more housework to do the next day due to procrastinating. The more housework piles up, the more there is to do and the more overwhelming it can feel, which is why it’s best to make it a habit to always start housework early.
