Extra Work Now = No Work Later
I have been working extra hard this week to get ready for my FOUR DAY WEEKEND this weekend. This means that I am not only working my typical work week in four days (it’s a “flex week” – work all of your hours in 4 days, get Friday off!) but I’m also running around at night to get all of my usual weekend chores done, so I won’t have to do them on my time off.
Hello, I’m cleaning the bathroom on a Wednesday night instead of Saturday morning!
It only occurred to me last night (in the middle of the above bathroom cleaning, laundry swapping, bill paying and other nonsense) that I’m doing this in preparation a weekend that I’d actually have MORE time to do these things, not less. Then I wondered why I don’t just do all of this extra work during the week every week, so that my weekends are always, always free from chores.
Then I collapsed on the couch at 9:30, almost missing So You Think You Can Dance in my “get it all done!” hysteria, and realized that I just don’t have the stamina to to do this all the time. What can I say, I have to pace myself.
