MINUTES OF TASKS CREATES HOURS OF HOUSEWORK:
Housework consists of many tasks, such as dishes, laundry, dusting, vacuuming, etc.; those tasks by themselves only take minutes to get done when tackled at a steady pace. Whenever housework feels overwhelming or that it will take ‘forever’ to accomplish, it’s helpful to concentrate on the individual tasks that only take minutes; in the meantime, the hours of housework will take care of themselves.
