Day 211: If I Ruled Lichtenstein... Chore-Sharing Would Make Life A Bit Easier

I don't mind some chores. I've never minded doing or folding laundry, going to the grocery store, vacuuming, running errands in the car, or organizing. In fact, those are the chores I actually like to do.

On the opposite end of that spectrum is washing pots and pans, cleaning the shower, and ironing. I'll avoid those chores and always put them off until last. 

But regardless of the chore, I hate that no matter how well I do it, I'll undoubtedly have to do it again. Regardless of how clean the shower gets, I'm going to have to clean it again. The laundry will get dirty again and we'll run out of food at home if I put off heading to the grocery store.


Since chores are always going to be there, in Lichtenstein we're going to make them a bit easier. There will be a chore-sharing system where you volunteer do chores for other people who will return the favor. That way, everyone can do the chores they like and get the chores done at their homes that they don't.


I actually don't know why this isn't something already done. I guess it's because if you have someone coming over to do chores at your house in the United States, you're returning the favor by paying them in cash.
