BUILDING HOUSWORK ENDURANCE TAKES TIME:

Housework takes endurance, and it takes time to build up endurance. 

Long-distance runners don’t start off running marathons, they build up to marathons. 

A housewife is ambitious and also realistic when it comes to her housework goals; if she is a new housewife, the endurance may not be there yet; if she is a seasoned housewife but has moved from a smaller home into a larger home, the endurance needed may not be there yet either; being realistic allows her to be patient with herself while building her housework endurance. 

Just like runners have training journals, a housewife can benefit from a housework journal so that she can track her tasks, see her endurance build each day, and feel good about her accomplishments.
